lol I think the laser stand had enough boats on it. But did you see the quality of some of them, you would have thought that they could have done better.

Yeh the 2k was awful sails soo old n coloured, the boat had a wire handle duck taped to the front. couldnt help noticing these things as it was right opposite me all day.

also behind the scenes info on it, the cradle that it was on was the wrong size before hand so they had to take a hacksaw to it to make it fit.

lol you mean the laser 2.  not the 2k.

i asked a friend at the laser stand and he said that there was other boat shows on the same weekend so that is why it wasnt there.

They have only one vago at the monent and it looks a nice but to be onest why not just get a 29er there is a good fleat of them and the vego looks like a big    RS fever with a tropeas which is nice but it is plastike i sailed one in 35knots it was not very fast and going up wind the spineker filed up with water in the sock
