Albacore, without a doubt. Strong, powerfull, stable and yet still suprisingly fast.
Great underated boat. |

Bosuns do have a kite, but the RN boats rigging is ridiculous its faster to just two-sail!

looks like it will be a Kestral for use without a spinnaker.....or a GRP Albacore if I can find one cheap enough! Novice crew prohibts spinnaker use - at least for this season. Thanks for all your postings! I am crewing a Laser 2000 midweek (with an experienced helm) and think 26 - 30 stone is a bit heavy....any other comments? |

you should be able to pick up a Rondar GRP alb for upto £2000 if your luck you could get one for about £500. They are a good boat with a nice helpfull class association. Good luck

30 might be pushing ti a bit, but in my experience they're not particularly weight sensitive. If the wind's light, as with any boat, just get the body mass forward to lift the transom just clear of the water. |

Not yet...I think the seller may be having second thoughts about selling! I see they race at Hamble off 1059 with no spinnaker |
