The boat was also sailed for a few days at Stone Week and I am awaiting a test sail report to post up on my blog...

Anyone recommend a good singlehanded skiff for a 15yo (10 stone) looking for something more exciting downwind than a laser? does not need a trapeze but preferably should have an asymmetric.  tried an rs 100 and 300 but im just not heavy enough.
thanks 
 
I'm 65kg and in a 100 and love it....have a demo and you will love it....

I recently met someone who was sailing an RS 300 at just over 9 stone, admittedly it was an A rig but even so it shows it is do able at light weights, I'm sailing one at your weight it seems to be more about technique than brute strength

You could try the 100 again with the smallest sail 7.4sq metres
