RS300 (take 2)

i would think RS would take the feva as part ex, as they are selling a new boat (profit), and then will be selling your boat again (more profit), I wouldnt like to take a guess at how much they would offer you for it.

if the feva is over a year old, then they wont be able to pass it off as new as the HIN and sail numbers will be well out compared to the new stock.

RS have so many fevas going through, i shold know, i used to work there

Hi again,

Just been sailing a laser (1981 one lol) and it has a standard rig.
It was blowing 20Knots gusting 25. (F6-F7)

Now I managed and the two occasions I capsized was to windward on a beat.
Since when does a 60KG sailor over hike a standard rig laser in 20KNTS

 

Anyway all was good till the rudder down haul rope snapped and I was in a narrow channel between a pontoon and a line of boats going downwind.

Well I don't need to tell you what happens when you lose the rudder downwind

anyway the sail got under the pontoon.
long story short I got the sail on the pontoon with difficulty (lasers have a lot of windage on their hulls don't they!) and sat on it while I waited for some help.
(it was fun watching toppers and oppies tipping)

Anyway the laser had a 2:1 down haul and a kicker that did everything bar actually working!

(the out haul worked so that's cool)

 

So 60kg in a standard rig laser from 1981 without posh XD control lines and only got into difficulty when the rudder popped up.

 

Is that a contender for a 300 A rig or time to get a Topper?

May be getting a Radial for little bro anyway but still not sure on my part.

 

i very much doubt you were "overhiking".

Getting an bit rigged 300 would be a big waste of money for you in my opinion, would be far more sensible to get a radial
