This whole height/weight thing is confusing i am looking at lasers because the 'hype' on how exciting they are to sail but am i also gathering that a radial isn't as fun to sail. i am 167cm/5'5 and 74kg/163 pounds(standing in boxer shorts first thing in the morning) so by race time maybe + 2 - 4kg i do a lot of gym work am agile and physically fit think rugby half back or rugby league half. so the questions are
will i be able to handle a full rig ?
is a radial rig still fun to sail or should i look at another class that suits my weight better that has similar performance to a full rig laser i.e europe dinghy ?
can i be competitive in full rig ?
any thoughts will be great cheers
