If you are talking to Wildwind, their RS800's are always good 2nd hand buys, as nobody ever sails them out in Vass, preffering instead to sail, sailings equivalent of bikes with stabalisers (cats). I was out in Vass for the last wk of the season last yr and the 800 was almost just out of the wrapper and it was 1yr old.
Before you commit get someone to let you have a go in all the classes your considering or you might regret your decision, as we all tend to like the boats we've got regardless of their quirks. |

Forget 800's 5000's 29ers get a 505.No seriously! you can get a half decent 505 for about a grand.OK it might not be as new as a 4000,or 800 but for that you will be getting a hell of a lot of boat for your money.There will probably be a few sets of sails with it and it'll be great fun.Plus with the worlds in hayling island next year you've no excuse.England expects!!!

I'm not sure if I'll be down on sunday jp, I'll see, need to practice
for my driving test! I'll probs be down next weekend though. Are you
playing rugby on saturday or watching? I used to play, think I'm gonna
end up sailing instead now!
I'll see if I can try out some of the boats down at Chew this weekend, I think there's some racing going on though. I just hope Wildwind still sell the 800s cheap ![]() Think I'm going to be in Scotland when the worlds are on next year for the 505s, gotta work in return for doing my SI course! They do look like awesome boats to sail, but I'd ideally like a twin trapeze boat. I'll definitely have a look at them if I can find one. |
