Far Canal's user name suggests that it may not be the neighbour's wife he is interested in... (sorry, couldn't resist!) Anyway Far Canal, that's not exactly a ringing endorsement of your boat, but I appreciate the honesty!

Your wife is very understanding! Many wives would have thrown you out after doing that to your crew

Go for a Tasar - They're very stable, easy to rig, most people drop mast after sailing(but you can also get a nifty jib cover if you leave it up). Its easy to go pretty fast straight away but the boat needs some time to get real pace. It's also great for slightly inexperienced crews - I sailed mine with a girl who had done very little sailing at all and we were doing OK straight away. You get lots of performance for your pound and they remain sailable into very high winds (when lots of other boats are upside down !). Also, as they are stable and well mannered, you can even take out complete novices. Dont think that by being stable they are boring - they are very respsonsive. Basically the boat is a real thouroughbread.

I know this might sound a little silly but have you considered an RS400? Less tippy than the 200 and a quick alternative to the 2000. Mentioning the 400 because you mentioned the Merlin and I also knew a guy who used to sail 400s quite well with his kids (and he wasn't on the heavy side).
