on a budjet and low maintance boat with a really good class association what else could you want the only reason i left when i did was was for resale value and a few of my mates left too so it was now or never for me
again what else could you want ah those where the glory days now i am holding the rear of the fleet up in a musto funny thing is thats exactly what happened in the 600 my first year of racing always in last odd place and then the last 2 years of it always in the top 3

well all three to start with... budget one the reasons you cite for leaving was 'resale value', how is bad depreciation good for those on a tight budget? low maintenance compared to what? It's not like you can pick parts up from anywhere and get them fabricated by a mate with a lathe... not to stay class legal anyway. good class association is it? Yes I believe so, but isn't the point of this thread that the class association can no longer sustain it. You've sold yours as it no longer suits you. Why pimp the class now? Surely the time for that was when you were chairman? It's dying with dignity, not euthanised by the builder like other 90's SMODS, but because friends and loved ones can no longer afford to keep it on life support. Time to let her go with grace and love... for all her faults and all her beauty. RIP dear 600. |

i put it on here to raise awareness that the class is struggling and convince people with them to get them out the bushes and start using them

ok if the 600 goes what will then be the feeder class for the 700 and musto ? the far 3.2 with its tiny rig or the tired looking contender? which costs a arm and a leg

a long push uphill by the sounds of it... I mean no disrespect, quite the contrary.

the Laser, 420, 29er, Royal Navy Bosun, a Kitesurf board, the front end of a Fireball, a time trial bike, a Solo...... the Xenon you've just completed your level 2 on, but as former skilled paraglider you're pretty feckin' wind aware and had that RYA sh*t nailed in a day- even the instructor said you were wasting your time and let you 'go play' on his Blaze during the lunch break. .... why the need for linear progression, you're 30, far too old to worry about the colours on your squad jacket now mate. Besides it's not going anywhere- that's the point, but ultimately those boats will be beyond economic repair, then they'll drop off one by one... when was the last time you saw an ISO racing? Or a Laser 5k?
