I guess one should always mention the Int Canoe if someone is looking for a challenge. There are what look like a couple of reasonable starter boats on Apolloduck at the moment, and a good sorted recent boat on the class forum.

RS600? or 700?
Having dabbled with the 600, it's certainly a challenge but very rewarding.
Wish I'd had the money to have one when they first came out.

If you live somewhere windy a Contender.

Keep some budget for going to events?

Get a Phantom Rich, it will give you the best combination of event sailing and fleet racing at home I reckon.

D1s look great but the assymetrics (both of them if you ignore the Vareo ;-p) never seem to get on that well on our water which is either because of how they're sailed or because the courses that are set for the symmetric boats don't suit assymetrics.

What about a Contender?
Successfully confusing ambition with ability since 1980.

RS100

Ignore the BS on here and try one before you make up your mind.
