[quote=wxguy]Per your requirements (non board, preferably light boat), the 5.0 will be lighter and a more modern hull shape. You could have a slightly larger main built and solve the under canvassed problem. S17 is heavy in comparison. The 5.0 won't scare the "not authorized to disclose numbers" person. Take a righting bag with you for solo sailing. Have fun on your quest!
