Thanks for your help. That's really helpful.
I was thinking about a Laser Vago, but I've no experience of sailing one.

Look at the Laser Stratos. We have one at our club that does exactly what you describe.

I appreciate that this might have been asked before, but I would welcome suggestions.
We are looking to get a dinghy to suit our family of 2 adults and 3 children (aged 8-13). We're looking for a dinghy that - is low maintenance - will be able to raced at our local sailing club - be reasonably cheap (£2000 is our budget). - will provide thrills and spills for the children but not completely terrify my wife! I'd welcome as much advice as possible to give us some ideas. Many thanks. |
