Farr 3.7

Yes good point Jim. Although I think there will be NO wind on Saturday so it would be more of a float around than sail. So I'm not sure you would get much value from the experience.

Yes to reserve list. We had 9 which was perfect. So i wasnt thinking i needed to do a reserve list. It was one of the reasons i wanted to meet the people at the show to judge the commitment levels. But a combination of double booking , illness and forgetting and weather has done for us this time.

But if anyone feels they want a test sail drop me a line through the UK 3.7 website or on here and I'll see if we can hook it up.

read your blog, now understand Jimbo

for christ sake, BUY A SOLO!
you wont like it and you will sell it within a year, but at  least it will stop you moaning about pys and handicap racing for a while and give you something new to moan about!!!

James as you know I have owned two solos in recent years. I didn't want one but the fleet racing attraction was just to much to ignore! Both times I sold the boat within months! The experience was not enjoyable enough for me. And fleet racing in anything other the at the very least a winder made things very hard! Despite what the solo class may like people to believe you need an frp boat to be on the pace. My white winder was fast enough to win open events but my previous wooden miles would struggle! Which actually means you need to spend circa 4k to get near the Pace. Not so cheap all of a sudden

Bet you didn't lose much on the Winder, so not so costly overall?
