Car top boat ( + caravan)

At 6'5" you'll be very cramped in a Pico. If you want something to take two kids out at the same time with you in the boat as well you could try a Mirror which has the option to sail single handed with the mast in the forward position, although this will still be quite cramped, or a Miracle which will be more roomy but for sailing singlehanded you'll either have an unbalanced rig with main only or have to manage the jib as well. Other than that you could look at a singlehander with room for passengers such as a Vareo

	How about trying a laser? They are fun when the wind gets up for a blast. Then you can change the rig for the kids. Would easily fit on the roof weight wise not so sure about length though. Just an idea Chris

	Hello all. I am looking for a boat I can put on the roof of a Landrover Discovery. I want to do this while towing a Caravan. I am an experianced sailer. I want to sail it single handed in a blow and have fun. I want to be able to take a 8 and 10 year old out in it. I want to let the 2 kids sail it together when the wind is gentle. The kids have been sailing a topper together ocasonally. I think a topper would be to small, but do like the Topaz with the different rig sizes. Would a Pico be to small ?? I am 6 foot and 15 stone. My wife would help get it off/on the roof. Paul.
