topper iso

   hiya 
ive had a look on iso website and it doesnt really say much about who the boat is suitable for. 
Me and my crew weigh in around 130 kg and are quite avarage club sailors ould we be ok in the iso or overpowered etc. 
ive also looked at the buzz but the iso i have seen is much cheaper
thanks matt

	130kg is fine for the ISO. You'll need the wings to be on to give you the necessary leverage.

	ISO will be fine for 130kg. As Dave says you'll need the stubby little wings though. Look out for cracks in the wing pins, condition of the jib, (tend to fall apart if still on Sobstads), the new Hydes are lovely. Check the rudder mechanism carefully. The tiller pushes down onto the stock to lock the rudder down, but the corners can get rounded off and it doesnt lock properly. Some people fitted pins just to make sure it couldnt jump out. Other than that they are fun boats, just remember never to wear a shorty in one. It'll eat your legs for breakfast!
