I have 10yr old twins - they recently completed a couple of youth sailing programs, and now need their own boats to continue.

They learned on the Opti, and it has been suggested that we also look at the Sabot as it can be sailed 2-up, and will save the cost of purchasing 2 Optis. I'm assuming it can also be sailed 1-up, as if either child will engage in the sport over the longer term, it's my son.

My son is strong, 48kg, loves the idea of racing. Daughter more timid, average 10yr old size, and keen. Can anyone offer any advice on good starter boat choice/s for them? We are so new to this. Many thanks.
