I don't think the B14 guys will let you get away with calling it dead. In fact I think it is in revival. Similarly I think theres something left in the ISO too. I don't think a class is dead just becuase there aren't many new ones. I know they went to Garda this year.

Im based in Aberdeen, work for a contractor so we get sent all over. Did a job on Inde & Leman about 3 years ago, lots of day tripping and the job took forever cos of the fog Had some good big wave pics somewere, any wave that make the supply boat look small cant be good! |

yep its inde and leman. Not much chance for fog at the moment cos of the 60 knot winds. Only here for a year for uni placement. How i'd like to get my 505 offshore and go wave riding!!! Where abouts you based? P.S. - do you reckon anyone could get a topper to plane if it was this windy?!!! |

49/27 and 23, is that not Inde and Leman? I try and stay out of SNS, they get even more fog than Northern sector. Missed 2 events last summer cos I was fogged in offshore.

They're good boats - if you're helming. If the control systems were updated (like the laser) they could be really good. Always had trouble with the kite being dropped: A) The kite usually ends up round the d.board due to it being too big for the chute. B) The cleat for the halyard is really nastily positioned and sized

They do look very similar to the normal laser except for being stretched, having a trapeze and putting on a symmetric tho !
