Ha ha, I hate it when that happens Why not phone Dave Hall for a test sail or even find a local 49er and RS800, I reckon you'll not consider anything else once you've had a shot of the 9er Edited by 49erGBR735HSC |

Only sailed a 49er once - absolutely brilliant. The acceleration threw me off the back and yet it was quite steady once you settle down - mind you this was only in a F2. Sailed RS more - still excellent but not quite the same blast and if its light there's no comparison. But you can sail them in F5 and still sail rather than survive - not sure you can do that in a 9er unless you're very well practised. Hence need for a reliable and b?**dy good crew - they do most of the graft! |

49ers and rs800 are great but really stupid boats, ive been on both but would never race one their too un predictable, my new obsession is b14s i really want one their challenging, fast, and have got fat ass huge wings on the side, sighn me up like a.s.a.p.! i'd go for one of them!

pro wannabe, B14s? good choice!! there are a few people in the fleet looking for crews at the moment, as those that can make the worlds are pairing up for the season and those that can't are a bit lost. There are places on quick boats whether or not you can make the worlds, best suggestion is put a note on the class website www.b14.org Also if you want a boat of your own there are some quick boats up for sale now, get them while you can!
