    I think you might be looking for a modern sportboat, like the Julian Bethwaite designed 8 metre Vivace or the Paul Bieker designed 8 metre Helter Skelter.

    There are many other sportboats sailing in Australia and New Zealand, from about 6 metres up to about 9 metres in length. Sportboats and Libera Classe boats are quite popular in European Lakes areas in Italy, Switzerland, and Germany.

    Have a try at this link - a local guy has developed a boat (skiff hull) that goes well - although it is for sale, the hull (made by bloodaxe boats) looks great - have a look anyway.... http://www.devboats.co.uk/plusplus/

    The Olympics never had the chance to destroy the Javelin class. The current victim of Olympic attention (and the first and only skiff so far) is the 49er.
