Ermmmmm maybe depends how next week goes. Today was his first time on a 49er, and we capsized quite a few times in about 18 - 19 knots which can't really happen on the start of the tiger
 . We will see how next weekend goes and make a decision on whether to enter, but I will probably be down on the Sunday either way.

Yea but when you loose control of a 49er it would prbalby take out 3 times as many boats considering its speed width and sail area if it capsizes Its a big leap from a 29er to a 49er and to be honest my helming is not quite perfected yet, still need more confidence. It was cold today, had plenty underneath my drysuit but once the head went under I had serious brain freeze! |

Or get an 800? No need for such a regular crew as (I hear) they are much easier to sail.

If you can't carry it, don't sail it! |

Much easier. I tried one before I went for the 49er and found it too easy, not enough challenge and I would get bored way too quickly. Also if I find a serious crew I would quite like to campaign a boat in a couple years time, but if I can't find regular crew I think I may aswell just switch to the Musto as I won't get anywhere with lots of different people.
