Soz forgot to say sailing at sea with sometimes big seas total weight approx 25stone.

With that weight the Rough Diamond should have the edge - Baggys are more weight sensitive - have fun and make sure you sit well back downhill in a blow on those waves.

Hi

Well i own and sail the rough diamond N3229 at saltash and last season i sailed with about 21 stone in the boat. i have found that on the river the boat to be very quick in the light wind and on the plane in the very heavy winds (its very forgiving! ). In the big seas i have found that racing against the baggys that they have had the off-wind edge though the rough diamond can point with the best of them upwind.
It depends where you are mainly sailing because inland i would say that the rough diamond is the faster boat.

Hope it helps
Tommo N3229

Have you ruled out a Crusader?!  Definitly worth thinking about,  as many (alright, several)crusaders or crusader derivatives attend opens and do ok.  Nice winders boat N3237 for sale see 2nd hand list
