Hi am looking at buying an older iternational 14 and was wondering if anyone out there can advise or maybe recomend what to do

I am currenly sailing a rs400 and have just sold my laser 5000 and in the process o selling my rs 600

I found the 5k far to heavy and my crew was never really a fan of bagging the kite

I was looking at spending up to about a £1000 on my first one to see if i like them, is that realistic

Condition wise the boat does not matter and can repair it if needs be

As long as I went for a design that would be good for club racing so not ancient

Any advice would be great

Many thanks

Mark

rs400 866

Mark,

You wont get a fair reflection on current rule I14's by buying a £1000 boat! you would buy a penny 14 for that which is allot slower and will give you the wrong impression. I would recommend you buy something like a bieker 3 or morrioson 10 you will need to fork out around £3000 for a decent one but you may be lucky and it would be self tacking and foiling!  It would eat a 5k alive and give you a good grounding to move on to later current rule designs! once you know whether you like them or not.

For that money I think that finding a well sorted Penny with kit would be better than a poor new rules boat.

With the Penny you can still have a lot of fun and race it with the pennultimate handicap.
For your money I think you could only get a very early new rules hull and they are much slower than current boats but you would be expected to sail to the same handicap.
If it doesn't break it's too heavy; if it does it wasn't built right
