If your thinking about a 300 Calum, have you considered the moth too? Chances are, being 17 you'd be a better weight for a moth than a 300 and theres a few decent boats on the second hand market right now

John,

Erm yeah im think in of going for it cause it would be more exciting sailing for largo where im not gona get much competition in a laser (due to the lack of them).

Still not 100% sure what im gona do and still need to totally convince dad the 300's a good idea but im getting there. As for him gettin 1 he still might. G McG is think'n of a 600!

Although it does say one-design as well.

Actualy, most of the website doesnt mention one design in the slogans.

Im not too bothered as its only a matter of opinion, jsut thought id mention it

Hi Calum,

Gd to see you're looking for a 300. Are you def going for a 300 rather than the laser you talked about over summer?  Are you going for an A or B rig? The weight cut off (which i'm almost certain is being scrapped) is 73kg.

You should get Gordon & your dad to get 300s too, so you can have a fleet of 3 at largo! Then 5 over summer!

If you (or Gordon or your dad) want to try before you buy you should give me a call & i'll c what I can do...

One has arrived at my club with a fairly keen sailor not far behind it ... RS300 that is.

So what happened here then?  No RS 300s at my club and the only one ever bought by a club member sat unused and unloved in the boat park for at least a couple of years with a "for sale" tag on the notice board.  Gone now .......

...likewise an EPS that had gone green and slimy ... are they coming back too???!!!

I recently wrote a piece for our club newsletter inviting all to have a go in a Contender with the Tag-line 'The Ultimate Singlehander' (which the Contender association has used for years) and managed to really upset the local Canoe sailor which I find hysterical.

Yes, they are very hard to get hold of. I was interested for a while but gave up. Bought myself a 5o5 last week. Weeeeeeeeeeeeee.
I will never go slow again. :-)

Hmm...the links should work, they bring up the sites when I click on them....

There was a 300 listed in BoatsandOutboards.co.uk about a week ago, but it sold within a few days.  The guy said he was inundated with enquiries.....
