hi
has anyone got any ideas on a fast, fun, challenging and fast single handed dinghy i could move into,
have been sailing a Cherub out of Mandurah in W.A and struggling to find a proper crew to get competitive with.
now i know you are all probably already reaching for your key boards to tell me about how great Lasers are, but i have sailed them in a range of conditions and don't think they are challenging or fast compared to what i have been sailing.
i have been looking at Musto Skiffs for a while www.mustoskiff.com/ and also the new foiler Moths, either option is a good one, or if anyone has a class they think is just as fun then im all ears 
singlehanded skiffs sound like what you need! You could always start off in contenders and work your way up to something with a kite.
Musto skiff would be great and they're getting a bit of a following in Aus, the Moth is good also but I like the added Kite and trap of the Musto. There's other options around like something from the RS range or the Devoti One, but Musto would be my choice if you can afford it.
Go for a Moth.
We have a local builder and sailmaker dedicated to the class
there are at least 7 other moths in perth (1 from Mandurah) who are going to regularly sail together from SoPYC.
There is a worlds in NSW in Janaury next year.
Flying on foils is unlike anything else.
www.gobblesracing.blogspot.com for more info about my moth sailing and contact www.fastacraft.com for details on available boats.

yer i think the moth will probably be the best idea, ive only ever seen one musto skiff in WA, plus the sails are not one design (benefits of being a trainee sailmaker 
) do you know if there are any second hand ones floating around?
(no pun intended)
Contact fastacraft. They'll point you in the right direction on local boats if there are any around.
There are a couple available, just I haven't seen adverts for them recently.
also look at www.moth.asn.au ans www.moth-sailing.org for boats outside WA.
would be great to have you in the class.
cheers
CS
