Right. Be sutable for restricted water (mostly for depth so no foilers) Be a laugh to sail (doesnt have to be design perfect) (around £2000 mark.) I was thinking RX Ray?
Or a Topas Race X.
So what fun boats are there If I join?
I just thought it might be a laugh to come up with the fun boats anyway. |

Why not see what the RN have to offer as part of their
Adventurous Training inventory? They have lots of dinghies all over the place and there's more variety than just Bosuns. |

I was thinking for home time and the months before the training. I hope too the Navy can do better than Bosun's |

I believe that RNSA have Lasers, L2Ks, RS200, 400 and possibly a couple of 800s around. Plenty to choose from. I'm sure someone who is in RNSA will say for sure.

I really wouldn't spend my own money on a boat til you see what RNSA can offer. A couple of guys I used to know were in the RAF SA and they got fantastic deals on long term rental of boats. Would have thought RN might offer similar schemes so check this out before putting your hand in your pocket!

Yep there's definitely forces boats around, and there doesn't seem to be massive restrictions on using them in 'civils' events - thinking of some mates who've sailed RAFSA powered 4000's in the past, there's been a few army boats bobbing around the sb3 fleet as well.
there's one or two RN types that are pretty good yotters too...some lady called Penny Clark springs to mind... personally I'd look to pick up a laser with both full and radial rigs - an older one would fit into your price bracket no probs, there easy to find (and sell on), and a 60kg sailing a full rig would find it amusing for sure... |

I have done the full rig laser in a boat older than I am with the old school controll lines.
Amusing is one word i could use |

And put a kite on it, like the Yanks did. That should count as fun. Otherwise, get an IC. |
