With the RS 600 you can alter the wing sizes so it does accomidate a wide range of people.

That's either very funny 5420 are you just taking the michael? So far you've 'decided' to go for at least two (possibly more) classes boats - so far. All without test sailing. I bet you're a 55 year old who just likes winding us up and watching how it all develops. |

Contender is equally a good boat to sail, but I reckon if you want to do skiffs later on, the RS 600 would be really good preperation just because of her layout and characteristics.

Hector, sorry about that too, I was meaning GOOD STUFF to 5420 getting a 600 and altered the post respectively after seeing your post which went in just before mine. Mind you if you found it funny, that makes me quite happy because I didn't mean it in that way and its good to laugh about these things....

One of the things you wanted was an open circuit with some competition in terms of numbers. Now that the first batch of early season opens are over, you can see from Y&Y reports the attendances for some of the classes you've shown interest in. Most numerous is the evergreen Contender with around 40 at Oxford. So the one that you could probably pick up cheapest and which undoubtably has the biggest circuit is apparently best supported! Next were the Vortex who despite your thought that they "do not have much of a fleet" had 24 out at Rutland. Most of them were asymmetric The RS 600 had 11or was it 12 at Chew Valley - and about the same at Datchet. The RS 300 had I believe 8 At Queen Mary. (Always harder to find actual attendance when its low as the class rarely tells youso you have to dig a little). Sorry to Blaze, and others I haven't mentioned but bearing in mind he already has a Laser, I think your no doubt excellent boat will not offer 5420 the contrast in sailing he seems to want. 5420, it seems to me that you need to be sure what you want from this extra boat. If you're going to do your main racing in your Laser, and just want to 'blast' at your club in the other boat, then how much competition there is doesn't matter. If competition in numbers does matter - look for a class that will provide both that and the blasting element Edited by Hector |
