@Chrisgamee If your in the correct weight range for the 49er, then id go for it. If your not big enough for the 49er and it doesnt seem like you will be for a bunch of years get the 29er. Generally speaking the 29er is alot more user friendly and easier to learn on, but if your any good at sailing you should figure a 49er out pretty quickly. There are alot of 2nd hand new style rigs coming on the market around now, if you get a 49er its a MUST to get the new style rig.
@chad889 I'm 16 and my crew is also 16, we're both RYA dinghy instructors, and very competent in Non-skiffs. We haven't sailed skiffs yet. I think we'd like to eventually get competent in a 49er to race it in nationals etc.
@XxTutorialMonsterxX if your crew is 16 years and you are starting the 29er now, i've rather started 49er. your crew maybe 17,5 years when you're starting to get good, and then both of you maybe weight 70kg, atleast your crew, or maybe he would me more.. so it is better to start 49er :D
but there are people who are sailing whit their father, so i think that is worse then your crew at 16 ^^
hi guys, im a laser radial sailor, 13 years old, 52 kg, 5 foot 3 ins, if i were a helm and my crew was 16 years old, 65 kg, 5 foot 8 ins, how does that compare to others? sorry its a bit confusing, thinking of getting one of these beasts :D
why did you have to keep cutting footage every 2 seconds? totally ruined some great sailing action.

@Chrisgamee i'd say starting in 29er. ask yourself: what's your age? what's your crew level at? and what are you aiming for?

is it worth starting in a 29er to get used to a skiff, or going straight into the 49er?
