Er try 28k and maybe we'd offer you a few grand trade in on your old tub (+ a seat at the burning if it's made of wood)

Boats have been too cheap for too long they need to be priced realistically and there needs to be customer service, finance options and a sensible dealer margin, not quite yet though i still have yet to sail it to prove the magic and it has yet to have the 'extras' added, inflatable buoyancy on the wings, water ballast take up, wing sails etc...

We may bring our lasers when we come to Grimwith so I'll have our sailing gear, although I could just ask if I could borrow one at the club, taa for the offer :)

In the context of this thread, doesn't seem too bad money. On a par with a craply built 14...

Er, I was actually jesting, truth is I haven't even begun to cost it, don't really think there's much of a market for it, there aint that many ageing midgets with massive sailing egos in need of satiation. Wink

Yeah don't listen to me Ginge, it's a fantastic boat, just can't get enough of that downwind video posted earlier, it doesn't look like a water-pusher much at all, actually I really wish I had one, they look like such fun.

I see your sig suggests you currently sail a Laser. FWIW I'd rather own a Vortex.

Fair point, but nearly everyone learns in them and then goes into bigger and better things
