Comet Zero. Sailed a Club one once before I got my Laser moved up to new Club, felt short and very rolly; once was enough, Laser felt a lot more together.

What is problem with Topaz?
Weight? Rotomould snobbery? Poor Hull shape? |

You will never get anyone here to be positive about roto moulded boat. They have there good points, maintenance free and robust. To call it a modern skiff is a stretch, unofficially PY 1170 so you are well behind the solos and even further behind Lasers. It does have a roomy cockpit for its type and has a degree of flexibility it terms of rig etc. Covid has completely messed up the second hand market, good boats are hard to get and top $$$ and once things normalise deprecation might be eye watering. It 100% depends on what sort of sailing you want to do, how much he is asking, state of boat etc etc. But if he wants £1500 for it you keep it for a year and sell it for £1000 it’s only cost £42 a month a little over two pints a week down here, ignoring club fees etc. sums change if you need to buy new sails.

All of the above. Mind, the asymmetric raceX is the best rig of a bad lot. |

Comet Zero is the miniature doublehanded boat with jib, looking like a very scaled down Trio. Nothing like a Laser. |

Comet uno? It's the one that broke away and started its own class association.
