In my experience the fasting thing at Welwyn GC is the geese crossing the road

I have raced supernovas in both my 300 and my phantom on restricted waters and the only time that they were even slighlty close was on the startline.

 

That's very interesting because my experiences have been to the contrary.

At my local club, Welwyn garden City Sailing Club, Supernovas and Phantoms both sail, and the Supernovas will always beat the Phantoms over the water, never mind on handicap!

The Vareo is an odd one, I have raced against one a few times, and lets just say it did not come up to PY expectations on a lake.  It seems to be marketed as a baby RS700 with no trapeze on one hand and for taking the kids out for a ride on the other.  Similar thing with the 59er, marketed as a sedate skiff, after my 2 sails in mine sedate is not a word I would use.  I have not been swimming so quickly since learning to sail a moth!  Still it was better with some wind.

[QUOTE=5420]

dut am also hounist that up wind they have no advantig over a laser apart for they are alot mone over powering and good fun and you can not say a laser is good fun i dont think so any way

Laser are good fun for someone who is just getting into a class from something smaller but after a while you get the feeling that you need something more.  I got my 300 after my laser and it was good cause you learn new things
