| Having considered a Javelin in the past, I did found the lack of information on the internet a major obstacle that put me off taking it further. For example I could not find any way of figuring out whether any were for sale. I just looked at the class website again and I still think the class would stand a much better chance if there was more information for potential class sailors. |

We have three Javelins entered at SailFest, so if you are in the Weymouth area over the Bank Holiday Weekend chance to see the class close up. We also have a growing number of Fireballs competing, so a bit of a Peter Milne jamboree. For both racers and spectators/visitors plenty of shoreside activities, workshops and taster sessions - free parking and venue access. http://sailfest.sailracer.org/ ------------- http://www.sailracer.org" rel="nofollow - www.sailracer.org Online Sailing Results, GPS Tracking & Event Management |

| nice one ,but i have to say i have previously owned osprey no.28 and then later no.1022 when an osprey was an osprey and not a modern variant. when we say classic one design we mean it .. looking forward to seeing you with your carbon fibre bow sprit .. you know it,s only a matter of time you,ll be able to race along side an rs 400 heres to classic one design classes have a look at jjboats for the one design classic ................... no offence intended |

valid point- but my Osprey is a 20 year old wooden version with metal pole and mast - will stay that way and am still winning the odd race at open meetings and fhe second baot at the natilnals was also wood/classic the boat builders wierd classes seem to be waning and people seeing the sense in buying classic classes like Osprey and Javelin (you have to admit it does look a lot like an Osprey!) RS400 prices have dropped like a stone
