The vintage canoe is always tempting whenever I see it, but I now need something relatively maintenance free - I have more than enough scraping to do!

I do sometimes think about a grp cvrda eligiblesolo whenever one appears on ebay, but then
sanity returns.

There are two rs300s currently at Hunts.  The one Paul tried has yet to do much racing, but the other is pretty active.  But like Jimbo says, the rs300 is tippy, and I have a choice of moths for when I want to swim....

I'm still trying to find a gap in a hideous schedule to get down and try Russ's demo boat.  I wonder if there will be any charter boats for their event at Weymouth?  Russ?
the same, but different...

Probably the D1- the 300 spits you out when its windy and that can hurt.  A D1 sailor retires to the bar and is not afraid to order a decent bottle of red wine to share with his/her mates.

The first tack attempt was a comedy of errors... then I thought it must go round the back. Thanks Steve.

New people buying into class, or people upgrading? At Prestwick, 2 new ppl have just bought secondhand examples, plus another new person coming in having bought within the club. So a good local fleet for Nats here next year.

On the good news front, I believe RS has just made and sold another batch.
