Hi,
I am a Laser Radial sailor at Queen Mary in London. As some will know this club has a decently sized fleet for the RS 700. However personally I am a fan of the Musto. I have tried it :) So I ask, is it better to go for the boat which is more popular at my club? Or go with what I prefer and end up being the only active musto? Musto's aren't cheap though :( Regards, Fred

There is a big Musto fleet up the road from you at Datchet; get what and have fleet sailing.

Musto's aren't cheap though and we just brought a laser but in all honesty... they are a bit boring... I guess I'll have to wait till Minorca...
How much harder is the musto than the 700 ? |

Isn't the musto meant to be easier that the 700? That's why I've heard

I went for the 7 a few years back, mainly because you get the same bang for less bucks. I havent sailed the Musto but no doubt its a nice boat, personally I think the 7 is more elegant, but both will be a big step up from a laser.
Here at Grafham, both sail on the same PY (855), but with only a couple of each, we never seem to be out at the same time. There's a guy at Carsington who I believe has both, if he sees this thread he may answer to which is easiest? to sail. |

I have owned both and there are pros and cons for both. The Musto is easier to Jibe and get up from a capsize but is more unstable and harder to sail in general.
Mustos hold there value and 700 dont although I belive this could be changing soon so I would go 700 esp if there others at your club.
