I am going to purchase either a Megabyte or Laser sailboat. I am on the fence as to which boat to choose. I am soon to be 50 years old 6'2" and 205-210 pounds and in good physical shape. I live in the Bay Area and would sail the local lakes and SF Bay.
Any help?
Thanks, Rick
Huskydad, a friend of mine is a bit heavier than you and a bit shorter, same age and he races a Mega-Byte and swears by it. The MB is better suited to your weight and is a very quick boat. I would go that route unless you are going to race and everybody has Lasers, nobody has MB's.

A megabyte will suit your weight/size much better - no heavier than a laser but much more legroom and good for 2 up or family sailing as well. Make sure the mast is insured new for old if - it were to break, replacement is very costly and repairs dont seem to work.
