Topic: I14 Posted: 13 Jan 08 at 6:54pm |
Hi am looking at buying an older iternational 14 and was wondering if anyone out there can advise or maybe recomend what to do I am currenly sailing a rs400 and have just sold my laser 5000 and in the process o selling my rs 600 I found the 5k far to heavy and my crew was never really a fan of bagging the kite I was looking at spending up to about a £1000 on my first one to see if i like them, is that realistic Condition wise the boat does not matter and can repair it if needs be As long as I went for a design that would be good for club racing so not ancient Any advice would be great Many thanks Mark rs400 866 |

Mark, You wont get a fair reflection on current rule I14's by buying a £1000 boat! you would buy a penny 14 for that which is allot slower and will give you the wrong impression. I would recommend you buy something like a bieker 3 or morrioson 10 you will need to fork out around £3000 for a decent one but you may be lucky and it would be self tacking and foiling! It would eat a 5k alive and give you a good grounding to move on to later current rule designs! once you know whether you like them or not. |

For that money I think that finding a well sorted Penny with kit would be better than a poor new rules boat.
With the Penny you can still have a lot of fun and race it with the pennultimate handicap. For your money I think you could only get a very early new rules hull and they are much slower than current boats but you would be expected to sail to the same handicap. |

If it doesn't break it's too heavy; if it does it wasn't built right
