Seriously I found an early one that was advetised, knew the bloke who had it advertised to get rid of it as he was unable to sail it due to injury. Saw it, paid him, towed it.

Hopefully come Saturday i can play and tweek it, really looking forward to sailing it (and swimming) will try and create a Blog as its probably the fastest boat I have sailed since F18 sailing when I first started out.

12 mtrs of sail upwind and 28mtrs downwind will definately prove interesting!

Nice one Richard - I wish I had the nerve to go for the kite option too!

We definitely need to see pics.

Rich,

Good choice. If you need any help, Paul B, Ian Nolan, myself and various other 700 sailors are regularly on here and can probably give you any boat related advice you seek

Enjoy your first swimming session

I was waiting for that one! The OH who is also a sailor keeps telling me it will improve my swimming skills more than my sailing!

Will be rigging it propperly this weekend, cant wait to check out the pump system properly on the kite!

  You've bought a great boat!! I got mine in June and still yet to master it.  Every time out is an adventure, hoping to get up to club racing spring next year when I dont need a 20 mtr exclusion zone!?  Loads of help on Yahoo, but you probably know that already.

 

Enjoy
Still swimming with an RS700!
