Well you'll be twin wiring in a 14 before a 9er! Speed is omportant otherwise we would all be sailing 200's!

It shouldn't come down to speed though. My point was that the 49er gets you wiring far quicker, and is therefore more enjoyable to sail. (in my opinion)

We trained from Lymington a few months ago, with some 800's. In about 10 knots of breeze we were fully wiring upwind, sailing past 800's who were crouching on the wing. 49er is way more powerful than the 800, so it's no contest really. To be honest, I wouldn't sail anything else.

Well... we sail on as small resivour and not many big boats are there, mostly things like 600's/700's, 400's, toppers, lasers the fastest being a 800 & B14. Although there is one I14 that comes to alton rarely but never races. Edited by Splosh |

49er as long as the guys sailing it kept it upright, it would win by some way. The 9er has a lot more sail area and lots of leverage to act against the huge sails.
