SMOD sailing is too expensive esspecially for students, i've found the sailors are not as sociable either, though i have to be carefull with what i say because i did sail lasers for 3 years

Really Olly......I think you should meet some more then. Laser sailors are generally competitive on the water but friendly enough off (at club level anyway, a lot of the circuit and international crowd take it far too seriously!) Paul |

I would have to agree with turnturtle (makes a change I got back into sailing after an 18 year layoff and what did I buy? A laser. It cost me £900 and I had a very enjoyable 12 months in all weathers and temperatures. I then had a slightly frustrating 6 months where I was only enjoying myself when everyone else was going back in because it was too windy (I am 6' and 15+ stone) So I sold the laser (£900) bought 541 and have sailed her twice and done a lot of swimming!!
Buy the laser join a club and go sailing for 12 months and then decide what you want to do, as you will probably not loose much if any money on the laser once you decide to upgrade |

The last ime out, the air temperature was -2C. I had to break the ice off the boat cover and having spent 20 minutes in the water (I could not get her up) I ended up been escorted in by the rescue boat with early stages of hypothermia YES God damn it.... I want the season to start again |

That makes me even more determined - I'm going to get a Contender and we'll be able to swap recipes for hot chocolate and good tips on thermals! |

For some reason I thought that it would be a good idea to get 541 having never been on a trapeze before Now that is a learning curve |
