Nah, I'm only in the Vareo for the downwind!

Next boat will be a Contender or a Canoe probably ... I want to see what this "Going fast upwind" business is all about!

I love the 49er, it was nice upwind but it was still all about reaching the top and popping the kite

It seems to be astonishingly tolerant. Not many Canoe sailors run much under 10 or 11 stone I think, whilst at the top end it seems to be 16ish..

So give it a couple of yrs til the UK fleet are upto speed, or wait a couple of years til those guys come over there den race them!!

 

Andy,

Raced 12s in weymouth in sub 10 knots in a B5 and both 12's were comprehensively stuffed

END OF!
