This is EASY!!! RS100 all the way! I won't have to spend a couple of years learning to keep it upright like a moth or a musto skiff. The deck moulding looks fantastic to hike from, centreboard rather than daggerboard, no forestay for 'piece of piss' gybing...... I can't think of a boat that I want more.

Hopkins Boys? There are more than one?
OMG that's gros. Still we could find them a use. Punka Wallers whilst we entertain *cookers on board the cruising cat support yacht. Or they could just prostrate themselves on all fours and act as step ups for those of us with er vertical height issues when clambering up the side of yots.. *Hookers that can cook, essential on long blue water cruises. Had another thought, following the ramblings of a mad man, you have 30 million at your disposal why would you waste it on a 505? or 300, clearly the first course of events its a bit of cognitive therapy.. Edit, had a thought, we could get matching blonde curly hair wigs with sunglasses stitched into place for our sessions on the 49er..

For me it has to be a brand new all carbon 5o5. And for those crewless days i would commision a full naked carbon RS300, with a bespoke fat top mainsail. Fitted with a t-foil so you could really drive it hard in the big winds!! Awesome |

Euromillions? Say thirty mil? Enough to employ Dumb and Dumberer as launch team, I did try to get them to do it once, you know carry me in the boat on their heads into the sea until I sailed clear. Doubt they'd do it now, what with their own 'groupies' fan base since they're the 'Men' of Kent. HSSC has had to employ an entire secretariat to deal with the sacks of mail and would be maids of kent knickers that continue to flood the boat park. Don't let them near a B14 though, I don't think I could stand the heart strain of more hysterical carryings on. So, I would have a vacancy or two for boat launchers, especially for the 49er, what you say TT come work for me for 250k p.a.? All you have to do is launch me and occasionally if I think your up to it, crew the jolly old 800? Be like the ultimate 'apprentice' job, I could teach you humour and how to have fun at regattas..  |

49er for those perfect wind days. Obviously wouldn't take it out in anything above 12kts.
Mach2 Moth. Just to see if I really am too heavy. The new 4000 that Sailboats still have just to piss off the other 4K sailors in our club. RS100 for Saturdays. RS800 for Sundays. I would also have to buy Castle Cove SC to be allowed sufficient dinghy park space to store them all.

For me I would have a 100 because I don`t find Trapising comforable & it ticks most if not all the boix`s
I would have a AC because I have always amired them usually from behind.
& lastly a Phantom for club sailing

With the winnings, you'd be able to devote the hours you wished though surely? it wouldn't be buying you the boat so much as buying you the time.

Firstly it would have to be a custom made B14 with reinforced underside so it could be used at Hythe without fear it will break at the first sign of a wave.
Secondly an RS800 for when the B14 is being built. This boat might also give good fleet racing at Hythe if a few other apart from Graeme got one.
And if I had anything left I like the look of the Transition Double bikes you have Graeme.

Hi Grf
It would have to be a large rebate for a new 505 and a new Phantom. I know greedy but what the hell i have paid a lot of tax. |

I forgot to put what I'd do.
I'd make them build me an upgraded Alto with a carbon deck & boom, wash through design without those stupid self baler thingies and made by someone who can build it to a sensible weight. Then or while I'm waiting, I'd buy an RS800, watching those boys at the round sheppy, it looks everything I'd like at this stage, off like a scalded cat, yet relatively user friendly, I'd have to hire a pro crew of course. Get a new RS100 as a spare so when mine goes wrong I just switch into it, no, I'd have them each rigged with the different sail, so I'd have two more. I'd get my V2 project going, trouble is I keep learning new stuff that makes some of my earlier ideas unnecessary, whatever I'd do it anyway, money being no object. If I mastered the 800, I'd get a 49er and see if I couldn't fit things to make it work properly in big seas.. And I'd buy a new Contender, start off perhaps where I should have done all along.
