bull 7000? im not exactly sure how big they are but they go like crap off a shiny shovel. don't know about the keel mechanism though. my dad used to crew on one and i got a ride once. it was truly awesome.
600 732, will call it Sticks and Stones when i get round to it.
Also International 14, 1318

The keel wobbles

The boat is a bit bendy

i would highly recommend the sb3.

i went to the grand prix event at seaview this weekend.

50 boats.  amazing racing, great boats, 3 or 4 crew. pretty sure there will be large fleets at cork week and cowes week

sigma 8, maybe fast but under irc they are rubbish handicap.

speak to laser or class association they are fully loaded with info.  roughly20 grand for new but there are a few 2nd hand boats around as well.
