I need to get a new dinghy

Question

I would like to buy a new dinghy but i am unsure which. I weigh 125kg and i would like take it racing and i would like the option of a trapeze but i need to work up to it. I would also like to take out another person occasionally but mainly sail solo. Budget is not an issue.

Thanks

That's over 250 POUNDS you weigh... so you may try one of the 2 man club racers because they are designed for a load of 300 pounds or so... but you aren't going to sail a sunfish.

If price is no problem, then you might like to look at the miniature 12 meter boats that are designed for and sailed in the para-olympics.  A new one is about $8000 but they are a ton of fun and you don't have to be a physical cripple to sail one... just to race one in the para-olympics.
