Why not get an RC Laser and join an already big fleet?

Bit more expensive but not that much more ...

I had to smile some of the comments on fastsail which immediately asked about sail making and go faster tweaks.  Blinding wheeze though. Just like the real thing but cheaper, warmer and dryer.

A bunch of Fastsail and Javelin sailors have formed the UK Micro Magic Class at www.Sailuk.org

Basically after the days racing is over you get changed, grab a drink and then go racing again. 

The Class is huge all over Europe and we felt we were missing out in the UK.

It really is great fun and with kits for less than £100 even us Javelin sailors can afford it.

Here they are being sailed by the Volvo round the World teams during each stop-over.
