seen as there is such hatred of the Spice and as its a dead class with only 60 boats ever made...
anyone reckon i could put racks on it for the bonkers windy days? oh and a mast head kite ![]() all that said, went out sailing it earlier today and was creating a wake... YES a spice creating a wake, in which a laser was able to surf, oh and downwind the powerboat was only just able to keep up on one of our kite runs ![]() and all this in 15knts of breeze Edited by ratface |

Actually that's one of the things that's wrong with it... The fact that it creates a huge wake on which a Laser can surf... |

in that case i'd suggest you get a better powerboat or perhaps put some fuel in so people don't have to row it? |

Ok then we were thinking about doing the Grafham Asy winter series, bear in mind that the 5k has to beat us on handicap! Hmmm a 15 year old laser skiff against the latest design international 14 no brainer mate!We used to sail a Boss and the 5k was loads slower then that! Edited by Merlinboy |
