I bought a used Laser earlier this summer and it came with both a radial and a full rig. I've been sailing the radial all the time and I love it, but I can't sail it in over 14 knots. I'm a 15 year old female and I weigh just over 110 pounds. I might start racing this winter or in the spring, but for now I'm just sailing it for fun. I hate to have to miss out on days with a really good breeze, but I sail on my own and I feel a little uncomfortable on windy days without other sailors around. I'm wondering if it makes sense to buy a 4.7 rig if I might grow out of it in a few years. I've also had trouble finding a used 4.7 lower mast or sail online.
In short, I want to know if I should stick it out with the Radial or if I should try and find a 4.7 rig. Thanks in advance for any recommendations!
