You still can buy a decent Hornet for silly money. My modern(ish) race one cost us £500 on a combi. We have spent a bit but not much on it and boy have we had some fun (and swims).  Tickler I can  arrange for you to have a ride on a planker any time.

My Semi-son-in- law bought a Hornet for little cash. It was a later single trap boat with a sort of raised sun deck mid ships for the crew to lounge on. I did crew it once and it had very long trap wires so that you were flat or teabagged. I would love to try a sliding seat boat. They go very well in most winds. I believe that they are " popular" on the Menia Strait (can't spell in Welsh). This boat sold now to fund B14with the boy. Had a go in that at the weekend, made me feel young again!!

I bought one of these for very little cash - on only our second outing the rudder split in half on a huge bear away and when drifting home the crew put his knee through the crew deck.  Spent the rest of the summer rebuilding it!

Awesome boat though - speed seemed to come so easily!

The size must be an optical illusion - it is an International Moth from about 1970 - a Skol MkII built by Rondar, and in amazing condition for the age.
