im an ISO sailer, and i just want to say this why dont you all come to datchet on the 22/23rd where the 4000/500 and ISO/BUZZ/SPICE/BOSS are having a joint regatta!! The BOSS/5000 are probably going to start together, and the 4000 5 mins ahead of the ISO! Its promised to be a good weekend! |

Well, as far as I can see all the criticism that's levelled at the 5 tonner now with hindsight was levelled at it when it was new by those of us who had some experience of the state of the art in dinghy design. That was an advantage we appeared to have over the designers, who apparently thought that the then geriatric (the class has transformed itself since then and all congratulations to them for doing it) 14s had some resemblance to state of the art... |

Shingle, I'm impressed and hope I can still be dinghy sailing in my late nineties.

The 5000 was a great boat for its time, and was the catalyst for the creation of a number of other classes, so less critisism about it, please. Umm, about the Boss though, have a bit less praise for that. The sheer size and shape of it, would have put off a fair few prospective buyers. |

Offering a trade-in is a very good way of generating 2nd hand sales for new classes; it's OK as long as the boat is a long term success. I traded my frist 2 RS200's in and got a very fair deal and the 200 is stronger now than ever ... Than answer is "it all depends ..." Rick |

Not really: difference between top and bottom of typical champs fleet is 20%... ISO a good boat? Not from the crew's point of view IMO - didn't like the ergonomics at all. |

I remember an instance at my sailing club of overtaking a boss up wind in a 200 while it was twinning! It was a badly sailed 1 but to go that slow!
