What sports boat?

   Sorry for the same type of posting again.
I am looking for a sports boat up to £13,000 in good condition but need symetrical spinny for club racing due to the courses we race on.
At the moment got a Micro 18 but looking for something that is easily trailed but can stay on a mooring. I am looking at H22, Isis 21 type of yacht but very few on the market at the moment
Mainly small fleet handicap racing and mainly a crew of 4.
Any tips, suggestions or suitable boats for sale gratefully received.

Neil

	Hunter 707. Plenty for sale (at a lot below £13K), symmetrical kite, light enough to be trailed by most 2L cars, can live on a mooring. Can be sailed with 4 but you'd do better with 5. Projection 762 would be the other one that comes to mind. It's a bigger boat with more of a "little yacht" feel. There are generally one or two for sale, asking price usually a little more than £13K.

	1720, not symmetric but can easily sail like one due to the cut.

	Check out the Sonar - proper four-up boat, happy on a mooring, one- design racing in a few fleets around the country, and total bandit rating under SBR!

	There is a Sonar fleet in Cowes. Where are the other UK fleets you mention? I'd personally call it a keelboat rather than a sportsboat.

	Theres definitely some in the north east (sunderland), scotland and ireland, and accordeing to the class sight also in Plymouth and Eastborne - not sure where you;re based Corms. Plus you get to come and do Cowes Week with your own start (and the cheapest bar on the island)! Yep, it is a keelboat (doesn't that make the the 707 one too?) but it has a great rating under SBR - they always do really well on Round the Island and have caused Backmans and J80s plenty of trouble at Hamble/Warsash Sereis.

	707 has a lid. I wouldn't call it a keelboat, except in the sense that all boats with keels are keelboats. Whereas a Sonar is a keelboat like an Etchells or a Dragon is a keelboat i.e. an open day racer. "Sussex Sailability is currently raising funds to purchase a Sonar for the new season" Doesn't quite make it a fleet yet. I've never heard of a Sonar fleet in Plymouth, thought it was J24s and J80s there. I'm not knocking Sonars as boats: just not sure there are UK fleets outside Cowes. Edited by Stefan Lloyd
