I am 15 and a half, and about 50kg, and wanting to sail a double-handed trapeze boat, have started to sail a laser 2 with my younger brother who is thirteen. although we are well underweight, we enjoy is and can compete as long as the wind is below 25 knots! a couple of years ago i tried a season in the 4.7, but i have always found singlehanding very boring.
both my brother and i are very happy with the switch, and hope to get near the top of the fleet at the nationals.
RS 500 (twin wire)
Laser 157607
Laser 85446
Pico 2136

Do your parents already sail? If not They are giving you a whole lot more active help in getting sailing than mine did. I got a lift the 3 miles to the club most weeks so long as I tried to get a lift back. But to do any sailing further a-field than that I had to get myself there by means fair or foul. To be honest this was the reason I gave up on squads fairly quickly. My parents were not unwilling but not keen to do towing and travelling all over the place. I found I could be more independant and have more fun with my sailing If I sailed with people in doublehanders.

Ok they did get a but twitchy when I said I wanted to go to A europeans in Como with 3 people they had never met before instead of doing my 6th form work experience, but they let me.
