Thanks everyone for all the advice - after careful analysis of all of the suggestions that we are probably a bit heavy for a Baggy, we've gone and bought one anyway. Rembering that that I was told that we were the wrong weight for Cherubs and Fireballs and that it never seemed to be a major issue I'm sure that we'll cope. We've bought N3217 so I think the boats going to faster than the crew for some time anyway! See you on the water... Richard.

Hi All,
 got some questions so I thought I'd come straight to the experts!

I'm an Ex-Cherub and Fur-ball sailor who has spent most of last 5-6 years teaching Scouts to sail. Borrowed an RS Vision to race at Brightlingsea SC Pyefleet week and this has re-ignited those competitive urges. Raced all week against JerryG (I assume) in N3500 and my wife, who wants to do more serious sailing with me is very taken with the 12. This leads me to ask a) is 22-23 stone to heavy to compete and b) would a Baggy carry that weight?

Appears that there are a couple of good Baggys for sale around my budget so that's why I'm asking...

Thanks in anticipation.

Ps. We sail mostly at Ardleigh Reservoir, with occaisional forays to Brightlingsea.
