I would be grateful on any information on the Isis 21.

What is it like to sail, will it be okay to sit on a mooring, quality of boat

There was an assymetric version at our club a year or two ago. I sailed on it a few times and against it many times. Well built, solid, fun. Should sit on a mooring OK, but with practice it didn't seem too difficult to sail off the trailer like a dinghy.

It did seem to have trouble keeping up to its SBR rating, though.

that's right about the SBR rating .... there was one at my local club a few years back too. From what I saw of it, it appeared a little unstable once the wind picked up a little. + we would often sail in the Bristol Channel - something I wouldn't want to do in the Isis 21
To be honest ... I'd probably consider looking at another type of Sportsboat ... Laser SB3, Cork 1720 etc, Melges24. ????
