Why do we force our leightweights to stay in Lasers 4.7s, Toppers and Oppies when they could be sailing something more exciting.

So come on RS, noboday wants your RS500 (see other thread). Develop a leightweight single handed trapeze boat to meet this gap in the market.


WOW got it in 1!!!!!
You couldn't be more right!!!
That really is what is needed cos lots of my friends are in the same position as me but most are too light to sail any fast boats on the market.  Forget the RS500 it's gonna be a waste of time against the laser 4k. 
5420: just wondering where do you sail
Thorpe Bay on the Thames Estuary


 

Get a FARR 3.7 !  (I'd love to have one too)

Anyone interested in importing them from NZ???

Kind of a cross between a contender and RS 600 but a skiff version.  Look quite good.   Let's get a ship load of them tomorrow!

Sorry, but why is it half RS600? and without wanting to spark the whole debate up again id struggle to call it a skiff...


Loosing the n00b label obviously didnt have the effect you'd expect...

Dunno it's a singlehanded trapeze dinghy isn't it .  But probably more of a contender. You tell me why you'd "struggle" to call it a skiff.  It says it's a skiff on the website so i'm kind of inclined to believe that.  And actually I feel more fulfilled as a person now i've lost the so-called "n00b label" so yes it has had the expected effect.

It says skiff on the website? well f*ck me! it must be a skiff then!

Your username describes you as a prince, but will I be hailing you as the future king? I think not...

What's the difference between a skiff & a dinghy, I thought the word "skiff" was an old word for "dinghy", as in the 18' skiffs, rowing skiffs etc..?!

My username does not describe me.  it is the name of a Jamaican Reggae/Ska singer.  What does Isis mean?  Aside from the sarcasm can you tell me why you would struggle to call the Farr 3.7 a skiff and how you would define a skiff.

Buster Boy, your makin yourself sound like a propper twat. Probably a good idea to drop it. If you care that much about what a skiff actually is I suggest you can and find yourself a description.
