Vareo

   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.

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

	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! Edited by didlydon
