MX Ray or Laser

   Maybe slightly less in the waves until we perfect some kind of technique. They do have a nasty habit of tripping us up! We will learn, hence our intrest in the Weston TASA event.

	yeah especially when its too gusty for me to get out on the trap,and there are no hiking straps, i nearly fell out, it was most nervewracking. Good fun though, as andrew said, a very steep learining curve, i can see why people sail them.

	It can get too windy for a 14. Especially when me and Dan are a bit on the light side to sail one. Great fun though with the very steep learning curve.....

	I windsurfed to MB and tt's standard. It's a great option when ther's too much wind for a boat. If you have the balance for a 14 ( I assume you mean International rather than Topper or Skipper) then you'll find the crossover easy enough and will already have a good idea how the rig works. Windsurfing kit drops its value like a stone so you should be able to get fairly modern stuff for your money.
