I am after some advice please.
My 9 year old son wants to start crewing and I was considering a National 12 for mixed handicap racing on our local estuary. We have a mixed fleet:- lasers, solos, wayfarers, toppers (and others). We sail on an estuary results in relatively flat water with lots of beating and runs, with limited reaching.
How competitive are N12s on PY? - I have seen a local rough diamond for sale @ £600, (which seems good value) but not sure about is PY?.Would our type of course be suited to N12? and as far as weight goes @ 18st, would we be OK for 2-3 years.
Any comments would be gratefully received - you guys certainly have a fantastic website.

(PS my other pastime is a Projection 762. like a big dinghy with up to 16 knots offwind in a good blow)
