what boat

   yep know your pain!

Am thinking myself what to get next, I also had:

Blaze - Good but has a following similar to the Solo (not raced by teens/twenties people)
Vareo - sounds good but not for PY racing.

So the 600 is a good idea but not the easiest to sail. But if your up for a challenge...
700 - if you have the guts
the Moth if you have the cash!

	There are some RS700's in Dubai. You could set up the middle east Championship! Ian RS700 GBR960 www.sail4cancer.org

	Probably not the Topaz. I don't think you'd find it an advance on the Laser... There are of course foiling Moths in the middle east, but that's a very big jump from the Laser. You need to decide on kite or not, trapeze or not, other local boats or not. For my money the performance singlehanders that are most worth considering are:- RS300 for a sparkling sit on the side boat RS600/Contender for wire without kite RS700/Musto Skiff for wire and kite International Moth with/without foils for a lighter weight sailor with very good experience, but maintenance might be an issue and, of course International Canoe, available with or without kite for unbeatable style:-) Edited by JimC
