Right boats I intend on looking at are:
Wavesport ZG54 - Because it seems to tick all the boxes, still a little tight as far as I remember though, but I loved it when I tried it before.
Project 62 - Because everyone and their uncle who doesn't have a star seems to have a project and they can't all be wrong
Superstar - As above, just swap the 'star' and 'project'
Riot Flair & Astro - I have vague recollections of sitting in a flair and saying wow this is comfy, so I'm gonna give 'em a go
Bliss-Stick Smoothy - because I love my Mystic and will try anything BlissStick made at the mo.
That's my list at the moment, but open to review at any time.
Sara, thanks for the offer but Dave Coxes Project 52 was like a pair of size six shoes on me, no way I was getting into that!!!
Ritchie, fair point in that it's gonna be swapping like for like with any of the big manufaturers boats really, all i'm doing is looking for a boat that fits me - after that it's all down to my own ability.
Cheers so far,
Conor
