Looks a bit camp to me. May as well just get a Laser.
Not all chemicals are bad. Without chemicals such as hydrogen and
oxygen, for example, there would be no way to make water, a vital
ingredient in beer.

In fact, a Vareo is probably the most similar machine. I wouldn't worry about carbon. The difference it makes it a couple of percent and it's just expensive to replace.

Looks okay, not had too much experience of the boat, in fact not seen one in real life but it might be good for PY racing because I'm not too sure if there is a class association or any sort of fleet racing for the boat. The question is, is it worth £900 when the boats were going for less than £2k new (if I can remember properly) and would you choose to sail one over other established classes such as the Laser radial, Europe, Byte, Moth or alternatively an MX-Ray if you could find one for sale?

I've seen one before, the starting bid at £400-00 is about £399-99 to high, as for the buy it now price .

Save your money and buy one of 49erlettersnumbersletters recommendations.
