I bought Sweet Dreams around a month ago, this also has a 97 rules rig.  The boat is still awesome though and well worth it.  I'd strongly recommend it to anyone who wants to try something a bit new and very silly. 

Its an awesome feeling when it jumps on the plane and nearly throws you out the back of the boat, also really good for winding up any ISO or RS400 sailors by reeling them in on the downwind legs.

The Kipper is a seriously well sorted boat that is in really, really nice condition.  It was also annoyingly fast at the nationals regardless of wind conditions and would make an excellent buy.

In actual fact the only reason not to buy it would be to buy Suicide Blonde instead (sorry for the plug Tom!! ) however that's a lot closer to a Penni 14 than the Kipper so probably not right for you and also I need her for the Nationals!

You will not be dissapointed with the Kipper, go for it!

I do't know what you intended it to be, but from here it read more like a rather silly crack than an opinion intended to be helpful...

 

It was an opinion of mine which i think i backed up very well, Thew original question was what do you think?  And i answered !  it was a posting on an open forum!

The 600 mast went up on my boat for the first time yesterday actualy!
It will need extending to fit a boat without a stump but I can probibly dig out some tube to help you do this if its heading in your direction after Ive built my new mast.

If you havnt already Id phone Tom whos number is on the bottom of the advert to have a chat and arange to go and have a look at her... Unfortunately somewhere like this isnt the place to get unbiassed answers!
