Interestingly I did try one last week and it was very nice too. It was easier to tack than the Feva, felt nimble, but I thought the boom was very low, which put me off it slightly, although not completely..

Get a phantom and put a flat or medium cut sail on it.

Ha! Lovely boat, probably not quite right for me at the moment though. Hope it sells soon!

72-75kg, 6ft, estuary sailing? I think you need to try a Blaze, especially one with an aft bridle/off the boom sheeting (makes all the difference in my experience).
We now have them in droves on the Medway. We also seem to be acquiring a Streaker fleet, but they are all smaller/lighter sailors. We used to have a number of modern Phantoms, but I haven't seen one out for ages.
