Top five favourite dinghies

   That you have sailed or want yo sail.
1. Contender -own one now
2. 470. - owned previously
3. D One - own one now
4. 505 - regular crew
5. Fd - never sailed one, still hoping

I have sailed many different boats, but these are still my all time favourites.  Clearly I'm an old fashioned girl, apart from the D One!

	1. RS300 (owned) 2. D-One (want to) 3. Phantom (own) 4. Finn (wouldn't mind owning) 5. Contender (never owned but need to lose a tad of weight if I really wanted to)
	Everything I say is my opinion, honest

	OK - had a demo in one a few years back Graduate - Own one and they are simply wonderful 49er - Owned one. One of the nicest boats I've ever sailed RS700 - own one. Rewarding and works brilliantly at my home club RS600 - owned one. Taught me more than any other boat

	505 used to own and sail, with some great people, loved the boats Phantom great boat still have one better than people believe. Int14 had one I was never good enough helm and to heavy but seen the ones at p&b south and they look fantastic. D one maybe some time in the future. 18 FT SKIFF , why wouldn't you want to?

	505 - Sailed and owned, sweet as they come, handles such a wide variety of conditions Fireball - Sailed and owned, responsive and sweet to sail, decent amount of room for the crew Int. 14 - Fiddled around on the periphery, unable to afford, but fascinating class and history Phantom - Tried briefly, loved the responsiveness IC - None around here, but would love to try one
