Anyway, lets end this spelling chitchat...and talk boats like we're ment to be doing....

I'd definately get the 600 first as it would most likely keep you busy for a year or two...and thats just getting the tacks right! One of my mates at our club struggled in a 6, but now has bought a MPS and flying about...although i am still quicker that him upwind in my 6.

I always believed the MPS to be faster over the 700 but PY says different... so which is really the quickest?

Mark.
RS300 - 346 :D

Unfortunately my ladder is a bit bent and won’t reach this far down.

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

Tragically, he sails at King George.

I've got an old keyboard or two that still have all their keys in working order. Wonder what'll crack first, that or his skull? Only one way to find out! Testing this sunday!

Anyway, keep txt spk for mobile phone messages. Keep |337 sp34k for the less refined chat rooms and games. There's no rush on a forum.

Is that real 'txt' speak???  I feel so old.  What does I337 mean?  I skip over all the posts I can't read, as I guess many others do.  Which kind of makes it pretty pointless posting really.  Having acidsalior here is like having fevakid back!

it's a suprisingly old term on the net, a somewhat pointless respelling of "elite".

Ok clear things up.. I am 16, sail at KGSC or king george sailing club for you moaners. Sometimes i cant always sail with ross so i need a boat of my own. I cant afford private so im sitting for scholarship at mill hill. As i havent had a birthday present yet this year and if i get into mill hill i will save money (by not paying) so my dad said he'll get me a boat. Not bragging but i want something extreme! So far from what you lovely people have said i might get a 2nd hand 600ff and buy the not hydrofoiling foils separate..Save money. Any advice?

Look no sloppy spelling
