Cheers dude, but 17m2 is too small and probably too flat. ------------- Cherub 2649 "Dangerous Strawberry |

I'd try the RS800 discussion boards if you can but it might be "members only". Don't forget to get it cut down...it makes all the difference, not!!! ------------- RS700 GBR922 "Wirespeed" Fireball GBR14474 "Eleven Parsecs" Enterprise GBR21970 Bavaria 32 GBR4755L "Adastra" |

I noticed the other day the spice kite is near enough the right size... probibly a lot harder to find but might be worth looking at. Im not thinking about stitching to the 'heart' side, honest... ------------- |

Fair enough then.. I thought it might look a bit fuller than the 800
but assumed it was just down to the way the photos were taken

Then again, a subtle nudge towards and item you'd like to part with in exchange of currency tends to appear in a few members' signature... (any interest on that I17, Scoob?

I managed a beautiful half backflip off the transom the other day if that counts? I was sat (well, stood) there quite happily, with one wing nicely balanced on the water having a bit of a breather, totally stationary and generally pretty chuffed with myself. I began to move off by flicking the wing clear of the water and it all suddenly powers up... stationary to mach-3 in record time leaving me, totally unprepared and off balance to execute a perfect comedy 'banana skin' run-on-the-spot followed by a really quite ungraceful half backflip landing somewhere past the rudder laughing my head off. I love this boat ------------- |

Couple of sniff's but nowt yet; still trying to pursuade the fife that I should moth ball the 17 and convert t to a 2 up boat (for me and my son in a few years time) and get "one Hungry monster" being built PDQ - it's not working mind... ------------- Wanna learn to Ski - PM me.. |
