Got to say it, 130kg would be fine in a 3000... My crew & I weighed in at 137kg for last w/e's Sheppey Race.

Thanks for the replies guys! Well we have around 4 - 5 grand to spend, with selling the 420 etc. We did consider the 470 but when it came to finding a decent one secondhand it became pretty difficult. Definately dont fancy getting a brand new one. Also considered the 800 as its obviously similar to the 49er. But dont really know much about them! Haha yeah we are, when i say big boys i mean more grown up than a 420! |

No mention of money. Usually at the "leaving youth fleet" stage, money tends to run out as Bank of Dad stops paying out. If that is the case, go for one of the cheap twin trap options, like a Cherub, an old 14, or even, if you really want to bulk out quick, a 5 tonner.

Less sensible suggestion: Eat some pies, buy a B14. Don't really need too many pies to reach competitive weight. Yes, you'd be out of trapezing for a bit, but it would get you used to wide wings and big kites.
(also, you are far, far from what is usually meant by "big boys". But then I suppose it is because you are actually boys) |
