yet another what boat...

   Hi,
I'm currently sailing a Mirror and loving it when it's howling, but I think the time has come to move onto something more grown up.  I sail on smallish reservoir where trapezse boats aren't strictly allowed, so choice is somewhat limited.  I prefer double handers, any sort of kite.  Any ideas?

	Get an RS200 Hannah, good lil boats, go fast on lakes and are pretty easy to handle. Got the Assymetric for a bit of added fun too.

	Agreed, maybe a national 12? No kite but dynamite on small and shifty lakes Alex

	National 12. A second hand one in decent nick can be had second hand for cheap, in the older designs without the double floor.
