A tricky one to answer. Does he sail alone or has he a regular crew?
I like the Mirror dinghy as a beginners boat, but at 15 he will soon grow out of it. The topper and the laser are superb one man boats if he likes to fall in and get wet. All these boats should be cheap second hand. Finally this is a very UK based answer, as other countries have different boat classes.
Good luck
