if you can get it on the water for less than 3k thats a lot of the boat for the money - but you'll need a trolley to get it to the water and a cover for when its not there!

It is a lot of boat for your money but it is me, not my parents, that has to pay for the boat and I can't afford it :(

Unless your dad is 6'5" and you've inherited his genes.

Further to my last post recommending the Splash, I'm spending the winter at a club with a 60 acre lake, I can just about sail my RS600 there but today it was blowing it's nuts off, consistantly over 30mph with the highest gust recorded of 46.9mph. Deciding that the 600 might be a bit of a handlful on such a small water I took my girlfriend's Splash again - wow! It absolutely flew and was an absolute riot, if a little prone to nosediving but only to be expected in those conditions.
I'm quite a bit bigger than you'd want to be for a Splash but I think it's fair to say that a smaller sailor in a more sensible wind would have a great time.

That's an understatement, I think it would have been a bit of a handful on any amount of water!!

The 600 was a riot at Burghfield a handful at times, but damn it was fun

Jeremy is ominously quiet about the Farr 3.7, did he break it?
