Can you imagine the arguments generated by crews and helms deciding what music to listen to, reckon my crew would disown me if we had to sail constantly listening to the music I like....

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??????



Ipod with an itrip on it inside an aquapack (or plastic bag- same thing anyway), taped to somewhere out of the way on the boat, then a shower radio on full volume, again - taped somewhere out of the way. problem solved

Not seen any pics on the web, but I have seen a vid of it in action and it looks awesome, if a little out of control.
The planned release date was april I beleive so unless theyve been set back too far Im sure you'll see more soon...


I emailed them a little while a go about this and got no response unforunately i wonder how much mods will need to be done to the boat? and also how much it will cost
