No its not as fast, but as it has smaller sail's it may be marginally more controllable although you have a lot more length to not pitchpole, we dont  .

Hello all, after a lot of discussion with all of you, and looking on
the qm site... and emailing someone, i found out that there isn't going
to be a junior event next year (06). So our plans are foiled. We'll
just have to go to the main event and bag all the youth prizes!

God that is so annoying when people say that exams today aren't hard, they blatently are otherwise everyone would get an A* in every subject and nobody would ever fail an exam. Anyone who says that exams these days are talking balls and obviously haven't been in the education system for a long time. If they are that easy go back and see if you can get an A* in every one out of the 13 GCSE's we have to take and work our balls off for. Believe me, doing sh** loads of homework every night and spending a whole day at the weekend working to get it all done really isn't a doddle! ------------- -[Franko]- Chew Valley Lake Sailing Club RS600 933 |

I'll leave out the comments on extra exam pressure, time lost to taking
exams (basically lose a whole term), extra subject for a year,
coursework taking over your life then? Oh and the ones about my uncle and a family friend, both around 50, doing A level retakes?
