lol. I think older 14s offer the best performance/price ratio ever  The modified ones appear to be the cheapest since they can't race against the penultinates and are not really competitive against the new ones.

There have been quite a few 14s on ebay going for under £1000...

Yeh and they still go like the proverbial s**t off a shovel, we can still give the 700s a run for their money though we have to be a fair bit in front of em on PN!

Nothing better than storming off downwind in front and alongside some 700s, absolutely thrashing the other assyms (i.e. 400s and 29ers and the like)!!
Any one in need of quality carbon fibre work (tillers etc) at decent prices!

Int 14 Gbr 1244 'Nucking Futs'

The New Port rule!!.

Old 14's are definatly the best bang for your buck.  I would recommend a penultimate riggged boat  or cutting a conversion back to the penultimate rules as it is easy to get a  race officer to accept you using an old handicap so you do not have to race as a new boat.
If it doesn't break it's too heavy; if it does it wasn't built right
