Sounds like a good plan Chris. In my experiance its a lot easier to improve your sailing when you concentrate on one class, not two or three at the same time. If you have crew trouble why not sell the 49er and just sail musto's, they're a popular class, and from the people who i've met also quite friendly, the sailing standard is very high too, so it would be the perfect opertunity to hone your racing and wiring from the helm skills, then if you find a reliable crew you can always swap to the 49ers.

I think I have solved it now (Think!! It might change  )

Stick with 49er, try and make it work, if it really doesn't then I will think about changing to something else.

After thinking about it, I honestly think a 12 is too much for me, bloody impossible to sail and I really don't think I am up to it!!

As for the 18, I don't see it happening now. I think it is too early to do that, and I would rather continue with something else, get better and then do something a bit better than mainsheet trim!! So that one is gone out window now and I have told him that.

Musto I will still get for days where I don't have a crew.

Think this is reasonable, and not biting off more than I can chew, because I hate to say it but you lot were right.

PS Thought i might as well make a topic so no more topics get Hijacked, and open to suggestions but please no more abuse
