I guess the best way to think of it is a 5 tonner is a "boat" whereas a 49er is a "skiff" if that makes sense.

You just can't compare the 2 boats mate, a 5k is an old heavy skiff and so is the 9er but the 9er is much MUCH faster with bigger fleet (as they are still making it) The ovi inlands are at Grafham next month, so there will be tons of 9ers b14's i14's mustos there i would have thought. Crew weight isnt a problem for 9er either and you can pick an old one up cheap now!

any 49er sailors at grafham?
i wanna try one out, its on my list of boats to try and see what they are like... as i plan to change class before or around the start of next season you never know you may well get me hooked and after one. sailed a 5k before and love it, but i want to see what its like compared to a 49er, but what are people general opinions on these two classes? and yes i know 5k's are a lot cheaper but i want to be able to race against others oh and i weight in at 66KG and around 6ft tall... my crew(s) would range from roughly the same to 85KG |
