chris27 said:Hi, I've been reading some about sailing and was wondering is the Laser or the laser 2 a good beginner boat? Is it a boat that I won't grow out of real quickly? I have found a couple of Force 5's on ebay and that look to be alot like the lasers can you all give me any input on them? I have recently signed up for sailing lessons and just wanted to do some research and see what is the best boat to buy for later any advice would be awsome. Thanks Chris

Sorry for butting in, but by "laser 2", we're talking about the Radial rig, right? Or is it some larger hull... I'm in the same place as the OP, and I had that pegged as the boat for me. I'll be flying solo 99% of the time though, so now you guys have got me wondering.
