Vareo

   Hi Paul. Earlyish ones are good! (So I hear). Check the 

hull moulding joint for fine cracks which could let water 

in. Is the mast straight? They can bend a bit low down 

below the gooseneck. The latest ones are strengthened 

here to stop it. Usual things like chunks out of the 

foils might be a bargaining point, but easily fixed. 

Crispy 

kite? A mod to the kicker fixing on the mast is good to 

move it to the front of the mast - easy done, but tape 

over 

it as it'll snag the kite. A good boat that's a blast 

down 

wind.... & you can take a friend to play the kite & enjoy 

the fun too!     Good luck!

	check no water in hull, general stress areas. Dont go spending loads, as the rs100 may make vareo's loose value, who knows.

	Going to look at a RS Vareo tomorrow, Photos make it all look very nice. Is there anything I should look out for. It is mid 100's sail no. so an early one but looks little used. Thanks Paul.
