Hi Cedric,

So what did you decide? How did the course go?

Let me know if you want a demo ride near you on a Sprint 15

Regards

Bob

Hi Bob

I went for a Byte C2 which was delivered just over a week ago. Rigging was a bit of a challenge from the manual, particularly as some bits missing though Topper forwarded these, but I did spend Sunday taking part in three races at PBSC.

It was great to sail though winds were very light, F2, and in these conditions was more than a match for the full rig lasers which have a much lower PY, at least in the middle race whan I managed to start OK. This is probably down to the fully battened  sail as they don't hang limp like the lasers. I understand that it won't have quite this advantage in more wind.

It also seemed to cause quite a bit of interest from other club members, probably because of it's looks with the clear fully battened sail standing out among the smaller boats.

As the racing was mixed I did find that being lapped by the Cats the only down side, so I think it quite possible that I could be persuaded to look in that direction some time in the future and I will then take up your offer of a test sail in a Sprint15.

Regards

Cedric
