The jump for a helm is pretty managable really, it is the crew who has the hard job. they have to be able to keep the boat totally flat which can be pretty tricky sometimes. The kite is fairly unforgiving and the boat is noticably unstable. When i 1st moved into the boat with my brother we had an advantage that he was an rs800 crew for a year so he was fairly experianced with skiffs. It is a challenge but it is an attainable one. You may swim to start off with but with practice the 'boat handling hump' can be overcome fairly quickly. Throw yourself in and get going, the learning curve may be steep, but it is fun!

PM me if you want any tips. Plus i am selling my boat after the nats and worlds in july so if you would like a well sorted, well priced, competitive specimen of the 29er class, get in touch
