Topic: Double Hander for Father / Son combo Posted: 19 Feb 17 at 7:17pm |
I bought a Grad (2863) last summer for myself and my 9 year old son to muck about in. I absolutely love it - best thing I did. Sailed it regularly with him, coaxed my 14 yr old daughter out a few times too. Am now sailing every other week with an adult crew (we're probably a bit heavy with us both on board, but she still goes really well in a breeze). I have recently started sailing her single handed too, which has been a blast. She's old, fairly tatty, could do with a new set of sails, but puts a smile on all faces. Only set me back £400. There's a tidier looking one, with an old and also a new rules main (there's three types if you do go for a Grad), up for £350 on the Graduate owners facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/groups/1563829960543739/

Small pond which doesn't really suit asymmetric kites. Also, Feva is really a yoof boat and I'm a bit long in the tooth!

Firefly is good option with a stick insect crew.
Any reason why RS Feva or RS 200 is not on the short list? |

There is a good quality miracle on ebay at the minute full road trailer sails and cover. It is wood though. 3849 so not too old.

... or nine!
Still looking and fairly open to grad, miracle. I've now added firefly to the list of possibilities. Unfortunately the main criteria to get on to this list seems to be that there's very little ever on the market! It has been quiet as you'd expect over the winter. I'm hoping something comes up soon. Anything else to put on the list?

Yes - that's part of the reason that I'm not rushing - see what turns up in a month or three.

Boat Yard at Beer are going to be building a batch of brand new Grads in August so you could get a new one or get a good 2nd hand one from someone trading up.
