Thank you Isis and Strawberry. I never knew i could get some good
boats for that kind of money! I'm seriously thinking of selling
my laser now and getting something else. 600s are also
cool. they're quite an old boat now but they still look
great.
thanks Prince Buster |

If it's speed you want then a Laser shouldn't even be on your list. Let me plant a subliminal thought in your head..

I have to agree with Jamie 600. I have a laser and it is so boring thats why i sail a 4k .tee hee . Honestly Mr Buster if you get to sail a 600 you will love it!! I have sailed one about twice and instantly became hooked on the boat. It gave me speeds in a force 2 upwind and down i wouldnt get until a force 3-4 in a laser.!! Honestly for a goodfun, cheap, practically indestructible boat the 600 is the way to go!!.

Are the 600s a dying class cos they're going really cheaply and there
are some modern alternatives. Is there much racing for them?
P.S. i prefer to be addressed by my formal title (Prince) rather than Mr.Buster. Prince Buster |

na mr buster they arnt a dieing class. there is quite alot of racing for them. but if u go for something like a mps or a 700 that is going to cost u nearly £5000 and if u went for a laser there is lots of racing but they are boring. happy sailing

PY= Psrtsmouth Yardstick. This is the standard method in the Uk (most widely accepted) for giving boats a handicap. Most club racing is run by it, using corrected times/ or staggered starts (pursuit race). |

radial optimum weight is around 68kg with the 4.7 being up to about 60 and the full rig anything over about 72kg does that help??? |
