Comms - Give Craig a buzz at JWDM - he had one - but I don't think it was great on handicap, but he had a ball.

Still looking, how would a SB20 perform in a mixed handicap PY fleet.

Lifing keel? It does??? A look at the row of (rarely used) tempests in our boat park suggests not; certainly they're all stored like flying 15s on high up launch trailers.
Also too fast to race against cruisers surely ... beats the K-6s in light wind round the cans races and needs a trapeze when the wind picks up.

Tempest keel does lift (we did it for launch and recovery at Oxford each week), just not as smoothly and easily as the K6.

Wouldn't be able to launch and recover the Tempest from our slipway but it looks like it could be good fun.
Really needs to be a lifting keel.

I had an old Tempest for a while and it was a wonderful boat to sail.... Properly fast with tons of canvas - great boat, especially for the money.

Still looking for the right boat.
The Bluemotion 550 looks a lovely boat but just to expensive for my budget, that why I would be interested to find out about the Highlight day boat. Still interested in suggestions. |
