It all depends how reliable your "crew" thingy is. If you sail week in week out and you have someone that will crew then fine. Will you be able to get an 800 or B14 for that amount, pay for insurance and have a bit left over for parts that are needed?
If you sail on the sea then the 29er may be fine. So really two options - 600 if you want to learn to trapeze and have the option of going out without a "helper" or the 29er if you have someone who you want to blame for your muck ups. If I didn't have a partner, but wanted to up my game, then I recon the 600 would have to be the way. Unless you want a kite too, then you have the Vareo, Blaze ....... |

I thought i had my mind made up- but after long contemplation (much too long in fact) i'm undecided again.
Im still pretty enamoured with the 29er- great boat, specifically for youths with all the RYA paraphernalia attached. There aren't any at the club but there is one up the river which sometimes comes to play. I do still have my eye on a few, but at 60kg i might be getting a bit big to helm. If i did get one, i would hope try and build a bit of a fleet... Another option is the B14- fantastic fleet racing at my club, but the wings really put me off, and the helm has the main all the time... I was also looking at the 600- it has weight equalization and stuff like that, and there is a bit of a fleet at my club- it also negates the need for one of those 'crew' things. Hoping it could teach me some trapezeing and stuff as well. Also having a bit of a look at the 800, but i'm told it's just a twin trap b14 without the wings. I would not be particularly popular if i chose the 800 over a B14 I have about 3000 to spend, and as earlier stated, i weigh about 60kg. Help me! ![]() ![]() |
