What would you do?

RS300 rig on a laser would be cool to try.

A 14 rig on an RS800 would be fun too

whilst we are on carbon hulls, carbon merlin hull! with no lead, not to race coz thats just unfair on the older boat but i think that wouldnt half go.

ho hum back to fri afternoon work which is only work in name

An impossible dream...Watertight lockers on a Wayfarer - that stay watertight when everything goes pear shaped..

And I quite like the idea of a cruising/racing cat -the Wayfarer philosophy on 2 hulls...but I'm straying from the subject.

A 14 rig on an RS800 would be fun too I can't imagine the 300 rig on a laser being any more fun than it is on a 300... and I also can't see the 14 rig on an 800 being any more fun than it is on a 14! worth a bash though! True on both counts, more for interest than performance. I've always wanted to see what a laser would be like with a modern rig with some gust response. The RS800 has a really distinctive smooth feel which is nice and very different to my 14. I always wondered what it would be like with more sail... Oh, and some kind of portable waterproof/pitchpole proof stereo fitted to any high performance boat.

Think you might be on to something there, had a mate at a sailing school construct a water proof casing for a stereo system to go under the mast support bars on a Boss. Never actually found out if it worked but how much effort would it take to water-proof one of these i-pod and portable speaker thingys??????
