Yes, I have one of those, but older. Buying a house has preference over buying boats at present.......My don't they grow up!

I understand where your coming from, a guy at our club thinks the same.(For me removing it transformed the boat for the better.)
On the other hand I can think of a young man, very close to you, who would suit 402 very well. Wink

Now there's an idea... suckers on the bottoms of the legs so it doesn't tip up when the boat is healed over?

Her indoors has got a Pod kit as early Christmas but is now undecided about fitting it for those very reasons.  She keeps coming 2nd in the Saturday racing. Life is not like it was.

No actually. In fact I tried to borrow a boat for the nationals when they were held in Plymouth but the class couldn't find me one to have a go in. Admittedly I am too big for a byte to be a serious boat to buy but I did want to give it a crack. I was 78kgs at the time.
