I have just taken up dinghy sailing and am very much still a novice. In the future though I am planning to buy my own boat. Can you recommend a boat that I can handle on my own but, will also be suitable (when I’m ready) to take my wife and two young sons out on. I will be looking for a used boat from about a thousand pounds upto two thousand. Another consideration is my height, I’m six four. Any suggestions will be most welcome. Also can you recommend a a good training boat for me, the club Toppers are just too small.

Cheers.

It has a 3.8m sail. I am now planning to sell it and need to advertise it accurately. I am not sure whether it has a full sized rig. Are you able to tell me the dimensions of the various rigs, please.

Thanks Colin

As a novice I am buying my 1st boat. The one i’m looking at is a RS Vareo with a sail number 434 on this site. Can you tell me what the sail number indicates? Is it regarding its age and therefore a influencer on price? Many thanks for any assistance

New to sailing dinghies…or know the basics but want to learn more…looking to get the most from attending a training course…maybe going on a sailing holiday…or just need to refresh your skills?

I have recently purchaced a 14’3″ double skined grp open sailing dinghy 5’7″ beam with swinging centre board case, 23’0″ mast mounted on keel. My friend thinks it was marketed as a HOBBIT but I cannot find any mention of it on the internet. Does anyone know of its design history or class rating?

many thanks John.
