Jim,
I see what you are saying, but he could pick up a boat for £4k, Charlie has a pretty old AC and he seems to do OK in it.

Much as I love the canoes I think you do need a good understanding of what's going on unless you are prepared to spend serious cash on one of Razorbacks seriously beautiful, seriously sorted but have to pay for what you get new boats. Very easy to pick up an old one which isn't quite set up right anymore and end up struggling.

Finn or musto skiff.
Buy a Finn, train all winter then enter the Sail for Gold regatta next year. If you want a challenge in sailing, that's where it's going to be.

I did have a contender in the early 1990s and went to the nationals at eastbourne all i can say is very rough ride and bloody windy i think that is what started me off liking the windy stuff

There aren't many boats which will keep you challenged without tewaking. My suggestion would be the International Canoe.

Andy,
I haven't sailed either of these but they've always looked interesting and seem to have some really good fleet racing......how about a Finn or a Contender. The Finn is very 'tweaky' and there's lots of adjustments to master but it does look a very satisfying and rewarding boat to sail. The Contender just looks really good fun and there's some brilliant inspiration clips of them sailing on Youtube......but hey, what do I know ? - lol Cheers, Nigel |
