Best lightwind singlehander, heavyish helm

   Ok, so what's the fastest singlehanded boat round the cans, on the water, forget PY? Inland, those sub 10mph days, but always shifty & gusty.
92kg in my birthday suit.

	The one with the best sailor... Given equal sailors an A class catamaran I should think. If you want monohull only a modern IC, specifically a Morrison will be fastest, just not by enough to save any reasonable handicap... I reckon an rs300 will beat a phantom on the water even in the light given equal sailors.

	An IC ( the new development one) ??? Really ? I thought they were for fly weights, ex Moth sailors. I have to say, the new Canoes are really something. A real weapon. But not a PY bandit.

	Agree with Jim on the 300 being quicker than a Phant
