I've got to say that I've found that Picos are brilliant for basic
teaching (once you have lugged them into the water - heavy and no
handholds) and tactical stuff (you can spin them on a sixpence - er....
5p piece...). However I've heard that Fevas are better - but
there again they are a more recent design, so should be better!

hi Razerlarf! I would recognise that style anywhere! And don't correct the sixpence to 5 p, none of the younger readers would get it anyway Whatever you're doing this weekend, enjoy the weather |

fevas are very good for teaching cos you can put a complete beginer in one and the wont find it hard. but at the same time you can put an experienced sailor in one and they will still have fun with the three sails!!!

em i have used one to teach in and my view is that it is one of the most unstable boats to teach in a pico is 100x better than a feva! |

i agree with hurricane Fevas are good boats but they are far to unstable, it's virtualy impossible to rig one while on the water.Give me a Pico anyday!

Picos are the crappest boats ever, i absolutely hate them, they are heavy, ugly slow, have no fleet, arnt even that good for learning in etc. i haven't siled a feva but they can't be any worse than a Pico.
