Moving on...

hmm, sounds good, but make sure they are very reliable!

laser, i know it's always the answer to everyone's 'which boat' but it seems to fit what you want. with a 7k budget u can afford to buy all rigs and decide on the day which is most apropriate to use.

otherwise 29er if you wanted doublehander. check with the rya to get their youth classes but definatly laser radial and i think 4.7 are in their.

oh yeh erm under £7000 with not to much maintainng cost

I'm thinking about moving out of toppers after this next year, but thinking about the move early.

I'm bout 165 cm, 8 stone now, but i'm reckoning  i'll be taller and heavier (by a lot! ) by next year a t my current growth rate!!!!. I was going to say what kinds of boat wanted help with but i think if i say what i want from tthe boat then that might give me a better picture for you guys to suggest something

• Not too bothered about speed as long as it's faster than a topper
• Has to be fun to sail!
• Large fleet (50+ min. at the nationals)
• A growing class
• Preferably feeding into a bigger class eg rs200 to 400
• Strong youth scene
• 8 to 9 stone plus helm, with maaybe 10 stone crew
• Doublehander
• Be able ti fit on a lake the size of leigh and lowton in the north west if you know it.

If you can't think of anything just say a singlehander because thats another option for me!

Thanks for your help!
