Thanks for all the advice. I tried a Europe at Grafham and loved it, job done.

I have found my boat to be passionate about and shock horror - it's a composite Europe! Well you can't help what you fall in love with...

if you sail on a small lake, its very hard to beat a british moth.

have seen 861 at the nationals, its a fast boat.

my wife has not looked back since she got one. she now wonders why she wasted so many years sailing a laser! LOL

Plenty of glass BMs around, though not necessarily for sale currently, of course. Trouble is, the old ones are heavy and the newer ones aren't old enough to be cheap. If condition doesn't matter, an old GRP BM is bulletproof!

I did suggest a BM as a choice, especially as Hunts is anticipating a moth invasion for the winter (better than killer shrimp I suppose) but I think she is allergic to wooden boats .  I don't suppose my lot set the best example...

edited to say that a quick glance at apollo duck shows two grp versions for sale...

Rupert, the class sec is actually at neighbouring Grafham, so I've suggested Rachie gets in touch and tries to wrangle a test sail.  I know my Europe - can't even remember the sail number ended up down your way somehere...

Great little boat, but I always felt I was a bit too tall.  Now I am just plain too fat....

Have you contacted the Europe association?
And just keep watching ebay and the free ads boat sites until one comes up, and take it for a test sail before buying, if possible.
