The boat coems rigged with a block on the U-bolt already i think, if its taken off, its likely that its because the boat was used with the kiddy rig, and its been taken off to get the required rig tension.
There is to be a rule re-wording in the near future, so that you can do pretty much whatever you like with the control line take-ups, so long as they dont hav any effect on the mechanical worikings of the system. So blocks on the wings etc would be fine. Although, i did hav blocks, i switched back to rings for the nats, just to be sure of rules etc, and there is little or no difference, they run fine without. |

How heavy are you? How big is the club you sail at? Are there any others there?

Might be best if you wait a while yet. Enjoy sailing what you have at the moment, because if you jump into a 600 (if it's anything like the contender) you wont have the weight or the physical strength to sail it at 14. I was in a topper squad at your age and racing in big fleets with big courses was bloody good fun! Especially when the wind got up. 3000 is good fun as well. |

If you can't carry it, don't sail it! |

well i dont think the 600 is too physical but t 14 weight might definately be an issue, but if you think you can do it, go for it!
