RS600

   it unlikely i'm going to the nats this year. apart from the fact that the boat probably wouldn't make it round, i wont have much of a chance to practice before the time comes, plus the added difficulty of transport. 

edit: just snapped the dagger board to dsay aswell!

	most of the 600's were built by Ovington boats. need I say more! Think they stopped building them in about 2000 and after that they were built by RMW

	I sail inland (Kielder) so tacking will be made easier due to the lack of big waves. The reason i fancy the 600 is the boat handling challenge, the 29er seems rather tame now, and taming the boat is half the fun! It is also the closest I can get to an MPS for a little while (don't even bother mentioning the 700! )

	Just remember this when you're getting your 600, you can have a brand new spanker with all the mods but that wont mean jack on race course if you can't tack the damn thing! Solid Boat handling will get you everwhere in the 600 fleet! Doug
