Which Skiff....

Basically the waves didn't break on the shore in their area so although the water came up 2 - 3 m, and the boats bumped into trees and stuff there was no real damage.

	thier ok i think the a few of the assemetric development classes are better though. 29ers are a very nice boat to sail though

	Int. 14, 18 foot skiff, 12 footer. Could be the possibilities, I've only ever sailed a 29er though.

	International 14s rule, not that im biased ! Ive also raced 29ers and they are brilliant boats as long as theres some breeze! In light winds it only takes one touch of either wing to the water and the boat stops - problem!! 29ers do not stand up on their own! therefore for a 7 year old i dont reckon its the best idea! A nice fast assymetric is the buzz, as others have said, it would be pretty ideal for you and your son. You should also consider the dart 15 as I remember a young 11 year old lad helming for his dad in one a while ago at some cat event and doing very well! Development classes are great especially if you are sponsered but if you want to stay competitive relatively cheaply go fo a one design.
