I'm glad to hear you say that... not that I'm silly enough to consider an MPS as a future boat... oh no. Nor am I idiot enough to listen to our clubs *demi-god sailor* when he whispers to me "try the MPS in Menorca, you'll love it, you'll be fine". Nope. Not me. 

Ahem.

Right... better go pack.

I agree Rodney, its wonderful that there are some good training classes developing so well.  Hopefully the 700's and Musto's will start to benefit soon  Wink



I actually agree with this, both classes fill a gap between the high performance single handers perfectly! They would also be perfect for those who do not have the time or location to sail a Musto properly!

to be fair, if you haven't got the space & location for a Musto, then I really struggle to see where the D1 or 100 fit in, they need long legs to get that kite to pay.... however, I would agree both would suit anyone who doesn't have the TIME to sail a Musto as the learning curve would be far shallower.

I note in that photo that she isn't wearing a buoyancy aid, and yet didn't (as far as I'm aware) drown! Mind, no harness, either.

If you are in Menorca in the warm sunny bay then why not try the whole menu; you may find something that does not appeal on paper is far better to taste ...

You will never get a better chance to try things ...

To put that into context, at Datchet, a fair size venue, a few weeks ago breeze was in high teens and to get down the length of the of the lake (about 1 mile) was taking around 4 minutes with a few gybes.

At the risk of being accused of trying to be the forum police, isn't the thread drift getting a little extreme here?
