The web site is http://www.59er.org.uk/

Which is run by Ovington - who also have some pages.  Its not kept up to date but has some nice pics.  What you don't get is an impression of is how wide it is. 

Apparently Dave Hall is going to try to get an event list sorted but I was thinking of taking it to some of the asymetric handicap events. If I can figure out how to make it go.

Weight range I think is minimum 150Kg upwards to 180+.  Not sure what I am doing in July yet so can't promise that!

Oh no russell though admittedly it would be funny to watch.  I would buy a 59er if I had the money.  Whats it like to sail?

Same here with the 59er, but I will do some events in it next year I think.  I looked at the B14 but decided 1 - I'm too fat, 2 - Its a bit harder to crew, I can take novice crews in the 59er and 3 - B14 is probably too fast for Bowmoor.  Are you going to sail the B14 at Tewkesbury? I would probably come and watch that!

Mind you i can't talk, I've just bought a 59er for playing in.  Still doing my racing in the Phantom though.

This is just going to be a toy,

Not all chemicals are bad. Without chemicals such as hydrogen and
oxygen, for example, there would be no way to make water, a vital
