Hi All,

Not sure where the best place to post this is but I am currently sailing a 505 in Ireland(Cork) and having been to the worlds in Palermo and a few other events, I am a bit put off at the moment by the amount of money that it is going to cost me before I can even have a chance at being competitive. My background is purely one design boat, Laser Radials, Melges 24's, National 18's, team racing and loads others. I am interested in helming an RS200 event in the near future to see what the boat/fleet is like in the UK and would consider leaving a boat in the UK for the Summer if I like the class. If anyone has any useful information, looking for helm or willing to rent out a boat for an event give me a mail on mailto:albarry@deloitte.ie - albarry@deloitte.ie .

Thanks, Alex

I have a 200 that I could sell to you, but as for helming an event, why not post an advert on the RS200 Yahoo group or on the Facebook group.

I do know people are after crews occasionally, not sure about helms.
