seen as there is such hatred of the Spice and as its a dead class with only 60 boats ever made...

anyone reckon i could put racks on it for the bonkers windy days? oh and a mast head kite

all that said, went out sailing it earlier today and was creating a wake... YES a spice creating a wake, in which a laser was able to surf,

oh and downwind the powerboat was only just able to keep up on one of our kite runs

and all this in 15knts of breeze

Actually that's one of the things that's wrong with it... The fact that it creates a huge wake on which a Laser can surf...

in that case i'd suggest you get a better powerboat or perhaps put some fuel in so people don't have to row it?

It will eat 5k's

 

There's going to be a few at Grafham in the next few weeks come and see if you eat them !

 

Ok then we were thinking about doing the Grafham Asy winter series, bear in mind that the 5k has to beat us on handicap!  Hmmm a 15 year old laser skiff against the latest design international 14 no brainer mate!We used to sail a Boss and the 5k was loads slower then that!
