what to get

No, in fact a new batch is being built at the moment.  There has been a lot of interest in the class recently, generated partly through more 2nd hand boats coming on the market, a new website and a lot of work by the previous class rep and the new one, Ian Baillie.  The best way to find out about the boat is the website and mailing list, it's a really friendly class.  Anyway, the number of boats at opens is on the up, and the class is now fairly big in Scotland.

Well, if you're not getting a boat until the end of the year then keep an eye on the class and watch the fleet numbers.  Also a good idea to join the mailing list (link from www.rs300.com)

It is the same handicap, it's used as a weight equalisation system.  I think there are good boats for around £2000 and all the boats are competitive, old boats and newer boats all tend to fair equally well.  I'd say you would be best with the big rig, but that's something to ask on the mailing list.  I started with the big rig when I was 15 and had a great time, I've been to the nationals twice and I'll be there again this year.  The 300 will take a relatively large weight range (see Ian Baillie's letter in Y&Y a couple of issues back) and that's been proven by the nationals results over the last few years.  Where do you sail? Have you tried a 300?  If you ask on the list then someone will probably let you have a go.

it was a 29er i got and i can not get a helm so i am going to stik with one man boats

 

i have not had a go yet but i would like a go and i sail at graham which is a slight problem there are non there to race so i would have to go in the hady cap fleet if i raced it
