Singlehanded choice for me?

It is indeed all lovely and shiny. Surely not difficult to slap an appropriate wedge under the tactick if you feel the need to have it more vertical.

Originally posted by Thunder Road I'm so pleased you like my boat, the compass works just fine, the new pattern of tread master is good non slip, the fittings function and the centreboard is a work of art. Why comment on other classes of boat, if your class is so good it will stand on it's own merits and replace the Finn, if not, it will vanish, like so many other pretenders.

I love the Finn Thunder Road, really do (though not sure I should as a phantom sailor???). It is just a shame that they are so damn expensive new, though obviously second hand prices are reasonable. It is a class that has nearly seen it all and carries on going and I believe that it will continue to do so for many years and looking at your boat why not? The Phantom is 40 next year so is getting old gracefully and in fact a new one looks gorgeous too. Both are great to sail as well. There is space for both in the country and suit peoples different outlooks. That is why you will always get comments about different classes as well whether they are positive or negative and really we should all just accept that in the main it is just other peoples points of view and more often than not are just fishing for a bite...
Keep on sailing the Finn and I'll keep on sailing the Phantom and lets both enjoy our yots and pay no attention to detremental posts

Not sure whether Nigel from Shirehampton SC is a member on here - he sails a Hit dinghy at cvrda events, but has a Megabyte for club use. Loves it, I believe.

Anyone got a photo?

Thanks Norbert. Really is a big Byte, isn't it?
