Re: What dinghy?
I've also been looking at the Heron, they are very light, but from what I've been reading, also very stable and not easy to capsize.

Re: What dinghy?
I guess, with weight comes stability? I accept a capsize as a possibility, but I'm seeking the lowest possibility of a capsize.
A GP14 is somewhere between an Enterprise and a Wayfarer as far as weight goes, and what I've read, they are a stable boat?

Re: What dinghy?
They are nice and light. What are they like stability wise? I'll also be looking to sail along the coast.
I really would like a Wayfarer, I would just seriously struggle with the reservoir where I want to store the dinghy.

Now my son will be 4 this year, I want to start sailing again and take him with. So I'll effectively be sailing single handed, or at least for a while. I want something more st...

Re: Small, cheap, single handed dinghy.
There are a couple of topaz going on eBay close to me, but hull only, what's it going to cost and how easy will it be to find the rest?

Re: Small, cheap, single handed dinghy.
Thanks guy, some more to think about! The lightning 368 looks nice!
Is it possible to transport a small dinghy via roof rack? I'm talking very short distances, less than half a mile to beach and back?

Small, cheap, single handed dinghy.
Hi,
I'm thinking about getting a CHEAP, GRP, small single handed dinghy, have been looking at laser 1's but most are over budget, I'm looking for something around £300 or even cheaper! What else should I look at?
Thanks

Re: Hello, Newbie here with an Enterprise :)
Thank you, but when I attach the jib, and tighten it using the Highfield lever, there is little tension on the forestay anyway, so I 'think' this should not be a problem ?
Thanks for your help,
Dan.
