Lark Dinghy

   Yo good folk,
     Thinking of swapping boats. Currently sailing a Laser 2 and an Enterprise. My fair lady crews but now is thinking of having a replacement knee operation. The L2 in light wind has nowhere for her to comfortably sit in. She does however love the the conventional spinny. The Ent on the other hand, although comfortable for her in light wind is a pile of crap and not worth doing up, no spinny either.

I've been looking at the Lark but know nothing about them apart from what's on wikipedia. It has a thwart, it has a symmetric spinny, it's small, plenty of good reasonably priced ones about (prepared to go to 3k for one), we are well within the ideal crew weight , it looks like a nice little boat...it ticks quite a few of our boxes.

Questions, always questions:
 Any known pitfalls with these boats? Best builder? It seems to be quite heavy for a small boat, what's that all about? Good sea boat?

I'd be interested to hear from anyone with experience of the Lark.

Thanks all.
