this will be a big deciding factor (apart from the fact that the boat is more than a lil bit boring), how much can you expect to be forking out for a 29er campaign in an average year? considering gear costs, travelling costs etc
we worked out that for our 5 weekends of scottish squad training through out the winter dads wallet was well over £1000 lighter |

we wuold be looking to do the nats, youths, and class open series.
it was a shame you couldn't make it. it was a gr8 event and 32 skiffs made for a good fleet. the musto's made and impressive turnout of 16 considering it wasn't a class event. shame i got blackflagged on sat though and i got a go in possible boats for next season on the sun when the racing was abandoned. so i had a good time specialy with a 10th overall. |
