Going to be looking for a single hander, probably a 'Solo' or a 'Laser', sold all mine last year.

Hoping to do a series of opens, with camping nearby and a good pub with food, hopefully a couple of pubs, shop and a cafe, fingers crossed for sunny weather and brisk winds, good company.

Happy New year.

That’s Radial county, fraction of the price and less depreciation. 

I think that’s putting it mildly 

You will never get anyone here to be positive about roto moulded boat. They have there good points, maintenance free and robust. To call it a modern skiff is a stretch,  unofficially PY 1170 so you are well behind the solos and even further behind Lasers. It does have a roomy cockpit for its type and has a degree of flexibility it terms of rig etc. Covid has completely messed up the second hand market, good boats are hard to get and top $$$ and once things normalise deprecation might be eye watering. It 100% depends on what sort of sailing you want to do, how much he is asking, state of boat etc etc. But if he wants £1500 for it you keep it for a year and sell it for £1000 it’s only cost £42 a month a little over  two pints a week down here, ignoring club fees etc. sums change if you need to buy new sails.

They then created a card game that was rather successful 

It's not bad, a decent boat for lightweight beginners, and an absolute hoot with two 'normal' adults for a quick blast in F6+ but it's also quite cramped for grown ups and only performs 'adequately'. They used to be cheap but there're lots of other boats I'd rather spend £1500 on, just for starters a Solo or Laser if you sail on a lake or an old Blaze if your local spot is open water.

But discussing their virtues on here is a bit like posting on a car enthusiasts forum that you've just bought a Kia Picanto. Both have the same basic stuff that the members get excited about but aren't really what the audience are into 

There is now the option of another rig called the XTRA . This has a slightly shorter mast with a more efficient, slightly smaller sail , this makes the boat a lot easier to sail in strong winds but it is very slightly slower very  light winds . You pay your money and take your choice as they sail off the same handicap . Other snippets of info , it has a soft py ( if the sailor is good enough to cope with its down wind behaviour) , it’s build quality is good , they are good value for the money and if you prefer centre sheeting the manufacturer sell conversion kits . 

Was thinking something along the lines of Ent' mk 111.

Looks a bit better contained than the car ferry width of a Wayfarer. 

Wayfarer would be a bit of a weeble with gallons of water free running.

Got to notice the background of Transit Vans, a couple of Jaags, a badass chop and a wheelie bin.

Ent on the mean streets?

If you mean the Ford Escort, it's probably an 1100cc with a bad exhaust and some tacky panel work. If you're talking about the dinghy, I must have mistaken it for  a wheelie bin. Marketing themes from the last century.....
