Hi. I am thinking to moving from F18/Dart18 to a single-handler due to extremely odd working hours. I sail in the UK off a concrete slip and the seas can be biggish/choppy when it's an Easterly. Average wind is probably 3-4. Would an A-class be a suitable choice? it looks like a most beauitiful and high-performance boat.

The most popular class at our club is now F18 and ideally I want something that'll keep up with them... Looking at the US ratings page, it looks like an A-Class can do it. I'm a bit confused about why there is no ISAF rating though...

Any advice appreciated...

Regards,
Colin
