All plastic boats aren't rubbish.........................you can't be trying to tell me that you think the whole RS range are rubbish and so are all Laser boats...................lot's of Skiff's are plastic aswell i think

all laser boats aint plastic, the pico & funboat(vortex???) are but thats about it i think, ( they maybe more)

the Laser 1 is GRP so is the laser 2 what are the others like, 2000,3000,4000,5000

the SB3 will be GRP i would think

Just because any idiot can sail a topper, doesn't mean any idiot can sail it well. Common misconception i think is that once you can steer the thing you've mastered it- not the case in any boat.

Ok sorry peeps i just made a complete knob of myself i thought you meant that you thought all grp boats and stuff are all crap aswell...............sorry

 

Also like Harry said Topper's might be easy to make move but the racing is very tactical and good challenge and they have the added bonus of you being able to take them out when other boats really struggle !...........although that might be  down to the sailor

Found this on the boats.com review

Unusually, the Vortex is not produced in Laser's own factory in Banbury but at Rob White's premises in Brightlingsea. Construction appears to be of high quality and utilises glass, foam and vinyl ester resins. What few fittings there are all appear to be man enough for the job and everything functions effectively.
