i had a very long drive up to Newark to get the 14 on sunday!! it was a 400(ish) mile round trip (good old parents, gotta love em!). it is a beast of a boat! i have never seen so much string in one place. we put the mast up last night too and that is huuuuuuggge. im now seriously looking forward to sailing it. pictures to follow shortly, probably thursday. also i passed my DI pre entry thingy on saturday too, just got the rest of the course to do now.

the most balanced trailer I have had was when towing 2 stratoses on my lowering double stacker Just bought a brand new mersea lowering double stacker and it is rubish, not even had 2 boats on it and the jockey wheel bracket has broken and the galvanising is not up to much plus its serioulsy front heavy when unladen They are not cheap either going to put it in the barn and use my old lowering west mersea double stacker Has anyone else had trouble with mersea trailer or is it just me. |

worst I've had for nose weight was an unladen triple. If you've got the right boats on the trailer, nose weight should be minimal.

Noseweight is better than it was with the spice / topper on it.
( And ofc .. MUCH lighter than the 200 double before you went to the Nats!! ) |

What's the nose weight like? Looks like it could be fun to tow! |

This is the one ...
 Its OK to have a little bit of an overhang at the front right? ( The 5K mast is almost right on its balance point, with about 3 inches overhanging the fireball transom! )  Its 99% sure now that we will be towing without the top cover on the Fireball, so if you see us, hoot / wave! ( It'll be the bright yellow thing ! ) |

First race we seemed to be drifting a bit and ramming everything (not) in sight
 . Second race was lovely though, off the fordeck and out hiking on the racks. We had a lovely prolonged gust with the kite up where the boat just hit the groove.
