Very much depends on weight and ability really. I am about 84kg and that is the small rig on the 600, very rarely use it but it was blowing 40knots+, only boat out that day.
If the 15 year old is 65kg+ and has trapeze helmed before he/she should be ok, it will take a bit of learning though to get it round a course initially.
Looks good.. Thoughts on someone 5 10" 100 kgs ish and sailed a 300 for 12 months. Would a narrow wings be ok for me or am I too heavy??

The boat will take 100kg+ not a problem. You will need narrow wings, only people under 70kg i think can race with wides.

It was 40knots+ that day honest!
Only one out and it took 4 of us to rig and launch.
