	You asked about the 420 and well im a 200 crew and not their biggest fan but I def think that if you want to aim for olympic glory then that is def a route to look at. They are quite impressive boats - a slight pig to get a handle on first time - But def a Symetric spinni will give you a better understanding of how they work and then its much easier to move into an asym. I know a lot of people who are going through the 420 squads at the moment and they are saying just how great the training is. They learnt more in the tranny squad over winter than in 2years in the national squads in their respective feader classes (and both of them are either going to or coming back from worlds as we speak) Basicaly what ever class it is just make sure you work hard in it and take advantage of any training provided - but if you are truly aiming for the olympics get yourself into an olympic feeder boat NOW.

	go for the 29er, they're fairly fast and fairly fun! but make sure u learn how to a symmetric spinnaker first, it will only take a few hours!

	Yeah but you shouldnt need to go into the tranny squad twice. Its to teach people how to get to grips with the boat when they are moving out of another class (transitional) and where your friends in it this year. Because Sam Carter did most of this years on I think (if I got my info correct he certainly did flanders youth quad training) and he is a seriously decent coach.
