Hang on I've just realised it should be "The Beagle" the boat that Charles
Darwin started to develop his "origin of species" theories on! Edited by Jack Sparrow |

The historical view is an interesting one: how about the first ever one-design, going back to 1886 and still racing today? http://www.dlharbour.ie/content/history/water_wags.php

I'd say Nelsons "HMS Victory" for obvious reasons! But then again that
might be considered zeonphobic. So how about "The Golden Hind".... dam in trouble again! OK "SS Great Britain" I've got to be safe with that one, mind you there all ships. Boat? I supose it depends how you define boat. Because the best one ever has to be a ruffly cut log that allowed our ansestors to mirgate from Africa and beyond. But if you mean a racing dinghy it has to be the I14. The first Nationaly raced dinghy. But it was never a peoples boat, that prize has to go to the National 12. Designed in responce to the expense of the 14. The National 12 took sailing to the masses, before newspaper marketing vehicals like Mirrors, so it has to the best boat ever. But then again the best boat ever is the one your dreaming about that's on your drawing board at any given time. |

Only in the UK though. The "best boat ever" should be more international. I agree that I14 would be a good candidate with its long history of innovation (even if they did ban trapezes for 32 years!)

Mirror because it made loads of people intrested in the sport and helping to shed the toffy image International 14 because without it dinghys will still be balasted |

that's what i think knightmare. You can give them more/better feedback
on what theyare doing, there is room for you in the boat (cursed oppies!
 ) and tis easier cos u cn show them what to do more easily than just doing a land drill, and see that they understand it.

Slightly more interesting anyway. Let's see
Do peopple think it's better to teach young kids in singlehanders ie. oppies n let them work it out for themselves, or teach them 2-1 in a mirror/something similar? |

Yeah but that still follows the same lines, there are always a few boats that could fit each catagory and we will have the same debate.
