The 4k is not a shed. Be quiet i think ur tlkin out of ur arse personally. The 29er is a boat designed for the light sailor and that is where it falters as not every single youth is that small and cannot sail a 29er competitively. This is where the 4k is good as it caters for a larger weight range and is much more robust and generally hust a better boat in my opinion. Although the 9er is a good step up to the 49er i just think that is a waste of time personally.
Now this is just my personal opinion but we have always beaten 9ers up and down hill even one Sailed by Alex Hopson

No offence to 4000 sailors but I have never been beat by a 4000, at rutland we use to lap most of them in club races in a 29er.

The 29er is underpowered but u can still flat line upwind in 10knots which isnt to bad.

I am probably going to get shreded for saying this but the 4k is a shed

na ur safe for the minute but i will be coming to grafham soon so watch ur back     only kidding. 

yer well i agree with the skiff bit cos it is very stable but that is mainly cos of the 4 foot long dagger board,  but we have the racks which is the trend at the moment to get more leverage but i think they just look cool.   but once the wind gets over a f4ish we can spnak a 29er hands down

do not worry about it we have been throg it all befor

 

the 4000 would not be a very good youth class

as we already have the 29er which is better for the 49er and it is not a class that is sailed all over the world unlike the 29er

and to be honist it is not much of a skiff

and i feel after this i am going to get a  from luke

You should probably put a note at the ends of ur posts telling people not to comment on the poor/lack of punctuation and grammar.
