420

   An enterprise would be a great choice ofr Hunts - we host an open meeting for them and there are plenty that race as well as cruise.  You can pick them up pretty cheaply too.

	Hell of alot slower than a 420 put it that way. What sort of boat are you after? Fast, slow, stable, dry, wet?

	At 115kg, you'd be the right size for a 420, but it is not possible to say whether it would be the best boat for you and your dad. It is, of course, a youth class which may put your dad off, and old ones tend to go soft and be uncompetitive. They do, however, tend to come with loads of sails and are a good boat to sail in a way that is out of fashion at the moment. There's a load of other boats you could try, from a Buzz to a Lark. It just depends what you want from a boat.

	You may find a Laser 2000 might be a better fit for your needs. That and there are several Laser 2000's at Hunts already (the beginnings of a fleet). This is of course providing you have the money for one as they hold their value very well....
