Youth classes

we are not going to have to go into all this agen are we i thorght that was all  over

i think that they would only want to sail it if all the people in the fleet got them when you are geting 335 boat at the nats i think it would take alot to get them out of it and you have missed out them main reason that they sail oppys because the perunts make them so they can get the jaket with oppy team on it so they can get the moter home to go to events in and the most importent thing so they can get a fast rib which is faster than any other rib in the fleet at the time but bye this time they still have money left over luky people so they put all the rest of it in to there boats that have to have all the best parts but i think you will find that it all gose areound in fads where if some one cleans up at one event they all go to there boat see what they have and the next day buy it i rember 2 years a go when to of my m8s cleand up at the winters to twins never gess who they where doing some devolp ment on some sail which they said where not veary good but the nexte event they went to all the top people had thes sails i think they need to learn how to sail the boat beter first befor they chrang there boat

The RYA youth classes are what they are because most feed directly into olympic boats. If you don't like it sail something else- there are plenty of fun boats with good fleets and training around (ie: Rs200 )

Originally posted by mike ellis i dont agree with the limited classes sailed under the rya youth scheme. i think they should train people in classes that they want. i dont want to sail lasers, i want to sail in moths or something exciting not lasers. btw does anyone have an idea of a good weight for a moth helm?

On the contray I think we have a fantastic youth system in this country and although it doesnt suit everyone I cant think of a system that would. I decided it wasnt for me and traded the radial for a moth and havnt looked back once.

Moth weights: The fact the rig can be totaly customised means you can be competative in a relatively large weight range but the average is probibly about 70kgish for lowriders. Most of the top foilers are closer to 60 though for obvious reasons
