Be careful about making changes. They were not overbuilt, and even that was a very long time ago.

Wouldn't have driven up there all that way, to buy something I thought was trash...

I shall find out tomorrow though, then if it is trash I shall be nice about it and quietly flog it, but if it isn't then you might see me in it up your way later in the summer.

I'll have to work on it a bit though, can't have all this rear sheeting nonesense, I'm all over that, and the foils look a bit primitive, they could do with some work, then there's that mast, I've got a lovely carbon windsurfing mast that might plug in that hole nicely..

One thing about this - all that can be said bad about the Minisail already has been, so grumph trashing the design in a month won't make any difference. Nationals Staunton Harold 25/26 June.

So today, I picked up a Minisprint, partly driven by a desire to bother the woddbotherers in the CVDRA later this year and partly driven by the search for a windy weapon of mass bandit destruction down the lake.

So I went up to see it, took a trailer 'just in case' and dropped swmbo off at Lakeside with the credit card on the assumption if I spent money she would, hoping this time it wouldn't cost me a new kitchen.

For an old boat, it's got some up to date features, like a wash through hull, it also sports retracting centreboard and una rig, but with a luff sleeve ancient design sail, but it looks like fun, so what the heck, another boat.. a man can't have too many...
