singlehander for small(ish) lake

   Topaz Uno Race or Comet seem to be the handicap bandits on our puddle for lighter weight adults.

	Thanks for the suggestions PatJ I've sailed a Topaz, nice little boat but not really a 'proper' singlehander. Comet has addressed some of the design errors in the Laser (those absurdly wide side decks for example) but it's still too Laser-like for me to be attracted to it. Fortunately I'm not looking for a bandit, just a 'nice to sail' boat that is better suited to racing on a lake than the Blaze. My days troubling the silverware are behind me so something vice free and rewarding to sail will do (and another Blaze might be the answer.......) Edited by Sam.Spoons - 19 Mar 18 at 9:01am
