What would you do?

how about a kicker that works on a 29er, istead of the daft friction machine that it is

yes but even stainless corrodes in teh presence of thing slike carbon and a mix of alloys around it

 

So given the choice of doing anything to your boats it would appear that everyone wants to do something that is either

• stupid
• expensive
• makes it difficult/impossible to sail
• Tries to turn the boat into something resembling a different boat
  
• wrecks the class

Interesting...

Point taken re. Wanderers though

(Friday afternoon clock stopped grumpiness... forgive if you can, or not, no difference)

I stand by my request for a decent 29er kicker, have you seen it? it would:

• make the boat easier to sail
• make it cheaper as we wouldn't have to waste money on the tiny £27 breakable nylon fitting.
• highly sensible (as far as i can see)
• boat stays pretty much the same and therefore...
• The class stays the same.

However, the majority of the suggetions do follow the pattern you have outlined but then, does it have to be a sensible suggestion?

Then you would just deplete the 29er class as it is. Dont need a another youth skiff just need more people to start sailing them to build the fleet then for them to buy 49ers so we are all happy and can all sail in in a big 49er fleets all the world.

Sorry got carried away would be nice though
