Having been distracted by windsurfing for the last few years I'm planning to get back in to sailing having got totally frustrated with a lack of decent windsurfing wind in Sydney. What I'm not sure about is which type of boat to buy.

I'm thinking about going for a single hander for ease of not having to find a crew etc.. I've been tempted by the good old laser option simply because I live on the north shore and the middle harbour laser club is an appealing option for class racing. Beyond that I'm not really sure what good options might be.

I have a fair bit of sailing experience but most of it as a crew on a Laser 4000, RS800 and I14 (although I seemed to do more swimming that sailing on the 14). I'm fairly realistic that I'm not that agile so although the idea of a contender, musto skiff etc are great I just don't think my ability is sufficient not to spend a lot of time swimming or waiting for manageable winds.

Any suggestions beyond Lasers for a reasonably priced single hander for a 80kg bloke?

Thanks!
