Ian, you will be fine. Just be prepares to swim for the
first few months. The 300 is very achievable and
certainly rewarding to sail.

If i go back single handers any time soon then it would be
a 300 every time.

Good Luck

Ian the best thing to do is join the RS300 Message board
and post a wanted ad on there. Do the same thing with
Apolloduck and Y&Y. 300's are thin on the ground and sell
very quickly, so when you find one be quick. If you need
any tips on what to look forward let us know.
