This year for the first time, there will be a laser Pico Nationals.
However it's only for under 18s.... so it's only a Junior Nationals, and not a proper nationals is it? |

well i could get one and we couyld pimp it. tv screen's the lot. i think i might not even bother with the sail and just stick a 200hp engin on it. there is a pimping purple one for sale at aquasports. ------------- International 14 1503 |

Yeah, and we could have a host of body guards to sail behind us, making sure that no-one abuses those good ole RYA rules!!! ------------- x--x--x<x>x--x--x Topper 41825 Cherub 2539 (going, going and not quite but nearly gone)! |

Nah at least sailing a laser ur not classed as a problem to society -------------

Nah i just got sick of being shouted at for not having the kite all the way up by the time the shroud (yes the shroud not stern) was passed the windward mark. -------------

maybe u should shout back. works a treat. obviously that is a silly target to get. i dont know i have never sailed a 400 but i know that the 4000 kite takes quite a while to get up.  ------------- International 14 1503 |

nah not impossible on a good day it was perfectly possible. just not in 4 ft waves. maybe u need to improve ur hoisting technique???? alex any answers? -------------

I do admit it is almost possible. those kites can go up and down pretty quickly. - if you work for it and the question of sanity is to do with your pimping picos ------------- http://theramblingsofmyinnergeek.blogspot.com/ |

it is only a joke. i wouldnt seriesly pimp a pico. na nothing wrong with my hoisting technique. 5 second hoist and out. ------------- International 14 1503 |

what about getting the kite up befor the shrouds get to the mark? oh yer forgot u used to sail a slow boat and the 4k would of had about 2 boat lenghts from the mark in 5 seconds. ------------- International 14 1503 |
