Do you think he'll treat us with a capsize next time he takes the 2 out in Lancing? Could be a laugh... |

That says it for itself you sailed a twin trap boat by yourself ! The spice is underpowered and was a flop ! Full stop, I dont want to sound like i'm having a pop at you mate its just saying you were quicker then a musto is a little far fetched, but fairplay you seem to enjoy it allot and thats what really counts isn't it?! |

Merlinboy the musto was not upsidedown at all, to be fair the guy was probly not used to the boat or whatever.
but anyway sailed the spice again today(singlehanded), but after 20mins got effectively kicked out of the boat by people so that they could have a go. So the boat must be doing something right. |

Fair enough, some of the points of view just seemed a little heated.

The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist hopes it will change; the realist adjusts the sail |

To be fair Hannah, this forum is all about peoples points of view, and i have one about the boat, that said i wouldnt "take the piss" out of someone sailing a Spice as it is a great intro into twin trap sailing, i just find the fact that it overtook a musto some what far fetched (unless it was upside down) |

Enough boat slating, if ratface likes the spice then all's well and good, I daresay you could say similar things about other boats on the market (no specific examples in mind).

An RS800 is an easy boat (within reason) in a blow and you dont need to be an olympian! There is a genuine reason that the spice was a flop! It just didnt fill the gap intended well! People either prefered the MUCH better Iso, or braved it and bought a Boss, again the boss wasnt a success because the 49er came out!

Well done to you, Gary and Jackie! I've seen the report and talked to the newest national champions; it was indeed a fierce battle even if the fleet wasn't too big. Mike "Razerlarf" C (one of the silent majority on this forum) is still floating in the air somewhere 18 inches above his living room floor.
