Yeah try and have a few goes in the boats you are going to be teaching in cos if the instructor can't sail the boat to a good standard it doesnt look good to the people you are teaching !

4000s are great !  3 years of teaching in them - along with other high perf dinghies.  Personally I find them a very 'robust' dinghy that can be sailed well in any wind condition.

The waters usually ok as long as it hasnt been raining heavy - the weekend of the games it was blowing a 7 with squalls of rain every hour or so! - I have only ever sailed a 4k once and that was in greece in a 5 - thought it was a really nice boat to sail, might of been helped by the warm water, sunshine and consistent breeze!!

I'm crewing a 4k this weekend at Cardiff Bay, I told the helm that I don't do capsizing! Even more of a reason not to now.

I raced in the sailing games in a spice it was one hell of a weekend! Though after falling in the water me and my mate had stomach poisining for about a week after  very unpleasant!

It was a fun event, anyone who can make it should come this year - its usually at the start of september or sumtime close!
