....OMG and 1 more thing, someone sed in another topic that 29ers are hard to sail......is that true cos im 14 and about 9-10 stone nd have been sailin 4 bout 4 yrs a bit more.
I really want a go in a skiff type thing soon and i guess 29er would be the best bet (ill have 2 plead 2 go on some1's @ my club) but are they like way faster than somethin like a 420 or a fireball????????
thx |

yes i sail them all the time and there is only one word for them that is awsome!! btw (by the way) most people dont know this but they can be picked up for the same price as a good laser or even less for some of the old ones and because they are built like a tank they are just as good |

ummm, that is true! and thanks hurricane
but you don't need to sail anything quite as big as 49ers tornado's etc, there are smaller boats just as cool, like bytes!!!!Edited by sailor girl |

ummm, b14 hiking racks are umm, uncomfortable and u need strong legs!
i don't have the new rig, i am saving!! the byte is fast on a reach, they can fly! but are very unstable, i have tried out the new rig and it seems very different, much lighter if you can understand what i mean! it is sposed to make the boats more stable and is 'self-depowering, which is a good thing as the byte sometimes get very over powered. they are faster than laser 4.7 (byte sail area is 5.6) , but slower than laser radial. |
