RS 300 wanted

   Hi, I'm looking at getting back into 300's but there don't seem to be any around at the moment, does any one know of any that might be for sale I have checked all the usual place (Y&Y, Apollo duck).
Also its been about 6 years since I sailed one' can anyone tell me if the new sail is an improvement apart from looking great. 

Thanks

	The new sail does not make a difference to speed. I have heard that it can be slightly faster in breeze, slightly slower in the light. Think I would take this with a pinch of salt as there is a massive difference in speed between helms in lighter wind. I have 410 sat at my drive at home and am half tempted to sell. It will be towards the more expensive range of prices because its really well set up and has had a lot replaced over the 3years I have owned it. Not really decided a price but I can send you some pics and make an offer. Tom

	Yes - that boat's now at Bristol Corinthian. There are people looking for 300s here as well. What we really need is some people to invest in new boats. T'he 'problem' is that older boats aren't any slower than new ones so little reason for existing owners to renew. This has been an ongoing problem for 300s for several years - the lack of 2nd hand boats. Just need to keep scouring the normal places Y&Y, boatsandboard, appoloduck etc.

	I think someone was viewing that last Saturday. May have gone awry though, so not necessarily a dead end that one.
