Yeh, Its now turning into a "go for a blast, and just see how fast the spice is when we sail it properly against another fast boat" day.

So if i'm to understand correctly you're racing a I14 against a Spice to clarify if a Spice sailing singlehandedly could overtake a Musto Skiff? In my humble opinion that sounds a little bit daft. However, I can remember about five years ago singlehanding a Buzz downwind in very light conditions and pacing an RS700 downwind. I must have weighed about 9 1/2 stone at the time and was well powered up, the other fellow was probably the right sort of weight for a 700 and was not wiring yet. Maybe this goes someway to answering your question? |

It'll be somewhere like Datchet or Queen Mary.
Maybe Grafham if we can be bothered to make the trip! |

Fair play you must sail it well then, 29ers are very quick in the right hands. Where abouts do you sail? |

Well, at the Tiger this year, I beat 5 Mustos in my Vareo.
At the Bloody Mary, even though we finished about 20 boats from the back of the fleet, almost every time I looked back ( Right up until the final leg! ) there was at least one Musto behind us. And we were in a Laser 2000. Spice was very low down the fleet by the end of the regatta ... Probably had something to do with the breeze being turned on. They had sailed the boat once before the event .. For about 2 hours ... On a windless Wednesday evening. |

Well it must have ben the worst musto sailor in the world then! Where did the spice finish overall in comparrison to the 29ers? yes i have sailed a spice which is why i commented on it if i hadnt i wouldnt ! I'll tell you what lads if 14's are so sh*te???!!! Then we will give you a race in the spice, we only sail off 850 so not much difference to the musto you are talking about. We will even use the small sails as well.
Talk is cheap facts. are facts! |
