Which boat?

   There's a lot of new people coming into the 700 this year.  
Attendance at the opens, Eurocup etc all up by ~50% over last year.  In fact the only quiet event was the Nationals, which is the only one anyone surveys  .
If you need to shout at somebody, I find having a split personality really helps, but try to rememeber to talk under your breath or people start looking....  
In reality the great thing is that you don't need to make any excuses after races for your mistakes, most people think you're superhuman for sailing one in the first place

	You're just saying that cos I'm leaving Chew aren't you Ginger I might get a 6 or 700 if I can't find any crew but I'd prefer a double hander, there's someone else to blame when it all goes wrong!

	Yeah one of my friends has a 600 and he loves it! Spends most of his time in the water but he was the same in a 420, even in the big regattas we sailed at
