the  same standard of helm as the Laser  with the addition of
2 junior  crew.  The wind was 2  dropping to 
0.  Sea state  smooth. Neap tide. Course  Triangle.

	Sounds like the Omega boat is named after the Omega car!

	Sorry - but why do you want to race an omega? Ive sailed them - you roll tack em, they stall - you try and bear away in a gust - they carry on and fall over! Totally unresponsive and are tanks! no offence - but why not get a laser2, firefly etc?

	At present the only yardstick I have been able to obtain, is from another coastal club close to us who is operating on 1063. As yet I have had no feed back from LDC as to any provisional rating. However I would have thought it unlikely to be the same as the Vision is a much faster & lighter boat than the Omega. But I am still waiting to be told different! Thanks & regards, Peter

	Thanks again Kasey. I also heard from Topper today, who also confirm 1075. Looks like we now have numbers for both boats. Regards, Peter

	I sail at Lakeside SC, Peterborough......no tides as it's inland and quite a small lake. 1075 is the RYA PY number that my friend who sails the omega found...not sure where he got it tho. I sail a Kestrel, laser4000, buzz, solo and RS200.....haven't had a go in the omega yet. Kasey

	Thanks Kasey, What do you sail, is the boat influenced by tidal conditions? Peter

	Rupert, Thanks for that, yes we would go along similar lines , but I was hoping others were already racing and have had some rating already tried. Currently we are using 1063 for the Vision, but no-one appears to be raing the Omega - I wonder why!
