	sorry but a 65kg prop??? get some pies down your neck mate! but for 600 sailing 65kg shouldnt be bad at all, just sail it REGULARLY (i had most of my study leave this year and then lots of time in a long summer holiday sailing practically every day to get to grips with the beast (the demo boat).
	600 732, will call it Sticks and Stones when i get round to it. Also International 14, 1318

	you'll be fine, i havn't done all that much sailing in mine, i weigh just over 65kg, and i love the boat, and only really struggle when the waves get BIG! Wide racks help alot with upwind speed, you can really get the boat flowing with them, i never really managed with the small wings. I would say i'm a better stronger wind sailor, even as a lightweight, its much more a technique thing than a weight issue, after all, the cunnigham on the 600 de-powers the rig something silly!

	As i have a whole family into sailing i would like to save up and get my own boat. So i can sail it all the time. So would i be ok with the narrow bars utill i have enough money. I sail in a lake so the only waves are from the life boat.
