Doesn't sound as though that plan will leave much time for any academic
study - but hey, you are a student !

Well I won my laser and sold my old laser to buy the 700, i have no intention to let the boats go, they're all i have in terms of savings really, i dont mind swapping and changing them but im not selling them to use as beer money!

If i sell one boat to put the deposit down or trade the 700 in as the deposit and some more, then im guessing i wouldnt have to pay the rest until the boat is delivered, which would give me a good long summer of work to pay for the rest, i think this is a fairly viable opition, then a winter of pracitce before the big handicap events and then onto the summer of class events, seems like a fairly good plan to me.

Before i do anything i need to speak to the rents to see what they suggest, and then if that goes well have a test sail to make sure it sails how i would expect!

Student loans dont seem to be stretching far past the drinking bit atm, and even that seems fairly tame at the moment!

Far too busy partying and going sailing !

Isn't that what student loans are for ?

Managed to buy a complete quiver of Neil Pryde windsurfing sails and some
nice boards with mine - actually it was a grant in those days (same thing but
you didnt have to pay it back !).

Most people tend to.... err.... work? 


Well i happen to be a student, no time for any jobs that earn any serious amounts of money.

I think your explanation was far more understandable than Wikipedia! Wikipedia really suffers from geeks trying to show off how clever they are by going into far much detail.

You should call Charlie and see if he can weave you a deal,
you'll have until September to save up... you're not that
far off are you.

The 'Viking' contingent is hotting up.. there's RS100s on
order for Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland on the
Scandinavian front and they're all talking together about
doing some joint racing (thus the DEN letters on some of
the press shots). Could be a recipe for Brit RS100 sailors
to nip over and 'pillage' perhaps..
