lol. I think older 14s offer the best performance/price ratio ever The modified ones appear to be the cheapest since they can't race against the penultinates and are not really competitive against the new ones. There have been quite a few 14s on ebay going for under £1000... Edited by m_liddell |

Yeh and they still go like the proverbial s**t off a shovel, we can
still give the 700s a run for their money though we have to be a fair
bit in front of em on PN!
Nothing better than storming off downwind in front and alongside some 700s, absolutely thrashing the other assyms (i.e. 400s and 29ers and the like)!! |

Old 14's are definatly the best bang for your buck. I would
recommend a penultimate riggged boat or cutting a conversion back
to the penultimate rules as it is easy to get a race officer to
accept you using an old handicap so you do not have to race as a new
boat.

If it doesn't break it's too heavy; if it does it wasn't built right
