For fun or for winning?

Not quite so bomb proof...

Luke, I'm shocked!

if i wasnt confident that we had enough skill to sail the boat then i wouldnt even think about it, obviously the upper limits of wind strength that we could sail in would suffer because of our weight, but we will grow into the boat, we may be light but arnt short arses!

Originally posted by Jon Emmett I would not describe sailing a 49er at 130Kgs fun, more like wet and expensive! Speaking from experience...

any change in class will be hapenning at the end of the 2006 season, and as we both have at least an extra 2 inches to grow in height and i expect we will both fill out a fair bit maybe not fully by then but im sure we will be bigger. the wet part is half of the fun, but the exspense isnt so fun. we also considered an rs800 which would definatly be more suitable but considering tom crewed for 1 for a year when he was 14 i think we fancy a chalenge (not that it wouldnt be).

the fact that we will be chainging class at the end of the season, i would be suprised if aquamariner stayed on the market for that long. £5000 would be the very upper limit of the budget and even then dad would need alot of persuasion.
