Stop with the 6ft skiff / oppie war.

Trty and keep the thread useful, seems like this person actually WANTS help, and has a serious question.

Sorry... two fit young lads, wanting something with a trapeze and assymetric... why is a 6ft skiff NOT a sensible suggestion?

Tom from the Welsh Topper Squad was at the 3000 open at Carsington with his family last weekend ... we got him helming a Laser 3000 (3 races) and V3000 (1 race) and he won them all  ... he's hooked

I'd say get a Laser 3000 (available >£2000), then maybe upgrade the sails if you stick with it, then maybe the invest in the rest of a V3000 if you like the class ... if not, sell it on after a year and use it as a stepping stone into a 29er

worth finding time for some class coaching and racing, whatever your choice, to hone your asymmetric techniques

contact info@3000class.org.uk if you'd like a trial sail in a Laser 3000 or V3000 at one of our events

(well, someone did say it was time to get serious )
