Projection 762 Help please?

I've still got the original kite with my boat (8 years old!) and that's a 50sqm. My others are two 40s and a 30.

Does anybody here use an asy? The 762 which raced (successfully) out of our marina a few years ago went for 2 asys (large & small) and a symmetric - used asys most of the time I gather.

Spent far too much on the boat so far but one is on the shopping list for the future!

I am still trying to shake the trees to find as many as possible owners and boats.

I need contact details of any Projection 762 owners that anybody knows of who have not yet appeared in this forum thread.

RadioStar last seen in Brighton

White Lightning last seen on Medway

Miss Piggy last seen Falmouth

Data, Data, data, data, data,  please.......use PM to end details I will respond to any that include thheir Email address.......Thanks

Oh and anews of any pictures that you can grant copywrite for publication on the web (with aknowledgements) would be most useful.........still trying to set up a dedicated site more anon.......

Hi Guys!

I purchased Projection 7126 "Nemo" in June and have been racing under IRC this summer on the East Coast. We are based on the Medway and there are currently 3 other Projections that join our keelboat racing. Each boat has different handicaps, 0.971, 0.969, 0.968 and 0.965. Not once this year has the order of position over the water been changed by the handicap. The small difference in the handicap can almost be neglected as one point is roughly 6 seconds an hour.

We have competed this year in 3 of the Sail East regattas on the East Coast and are planning to do them all next year. It would be great to see more Projections there as the sailing and parties are awesome!

We have definately enjoyed having 3 other Projections to sail against this year and it would be great to have a bigger turn out for next year.

Class association sounds a good idea, got loads of photos of the boat. Does anyone want them for the class site?

cheers

Hi. I Just found this thread, I own "Zulu", GBR7622, & race from Cardiff. I'm definately up for some place (like this?) where we can swap ideas, but I'm not sure about a full-blown class association.

From what I've seen all the boats rate close enough on IRc that we could race level without being an OD. We did Cork in '04 and there was another 762 called "Radio Star" from Brighton in our class. We had great racing and despite having different sized kites & different ratings as I recall every race corrected out the same as our on-the-water positions. there's no need to worry about a couple of clicks on IRc.

On another matter, our main opposition is J80s, which give us a problem with their 65m2 kites. Has anybody tried a masthead kite on a projection? I reckon it would be fun & IRc-kindly.
