RYA Dinghy Show

   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.

	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 !

	try and get some trapezing done before you go out ... cos if you want to sail them, you'll be asked if you've trapezed before. Fortunately I never got close to an Oppie ! No offence Oppie sailors
