Ah, I can't help you there, I haven't got an iPad 2, so I don't know what is wrong, try taking it to an apple store, they might be able to help you there.

I love the 300 I think there a tad out of my price range though :/ they do look great boats though. This is an iPad 2 , when I click on the box the keyboard doesn't come up though?

If I was your weight, I would have thought that would be perfect for a lowrider moth, (what I have got) I have got a 1970's skol moth (see cvrda for pictures) I am just a bit too light for that, but still growing, I would have thought 2 stone extra weight in my moth would be perfect. If you want you can come up to Bartley Sailing Club and have a go with mine? It's a fun boat, but not much room under the boom, with a different sail it would work well.

ok thanks, I was going suggest the 300 just cos they look rapid, I dont know anything about them but they just look fun and fast and every 300 sailor I have seen has a smile on there face (at some point in a race) I know some one who sails one from 11 stone with the A rig and they have the odd capsize but no more than any one els who is new to a boat, once the boat is moving if they play the main then they are ok, it is when they stop or go slow into gybes when things dont happen as well.

With me I just gave up, and eventually I came back to it a few days ago and it worked! When I start a new thread on here though, it doesn't show a cursor, so it is hard to see if it is typing, but if you just type, it worked for me, by the way what iPad are you using? This is a generation 1.

Erm... I'll keep the laser as a back up until I know I want to keep the other boat then I shall sell the lasers and then occasionally sail my dads. How did you fix the iPad thing? I'm having to copy and paste :/ The lasers rig is pretty easy to depower so you will get away with it in most winds at your weight

Well, I found a 4.7 difficult in a force 5 gusting 6 with about 15 foot tall waves, but that was a while ago, I think I could sail a radial in a force 4 if there wasn't a particularly high percentage of gusts, so it depends on the typical wind at your club, so yes if it is around (what I consider) a good range (force 1 - 4). Not of it is around a force 2 gusting force 6 with a high percentage of gusts, like it usually is at my club! But I sail my moth there anyway.

Do you find the radial ok in most winds then?

Haha, I have got the opposit problem 8 stone, and overpowered in my moth in moderate to heavy winds! I have also got a laser but only a radial and full rig, and in a radial (when I was half a stone lighter) I could sail anything unless it was a force 5 or higher.

I am, it seems to work well, but when I first signed up to the forum it wouldn't let me type anything.
