would that get through the sva?

rubbish hasnt got an engine and the wheels are in the wrong place. there seems to be a small boy attached to it too which will mess up the power to weight ratio.

Lasers are great fun. We'll be getting a dinghy as soon as the kids can swim.

Enjoy - sailing dinghys is great fun and as long as you don't force things a great family builder.


Rudy - 26/10/08 at 02:10 PM

cool, I am following a course of sailing, I think laser is a fun boat, and 2,5 person will fit on board, and when your child will grow you wife will stay at home

More for me and the boys, though I don't doubt I'll be able to drag the missus out occassionally

I think Joseph in the pic will be more into it than his bro, but who can tell.

I'm going to sail the winter and do the RYA Level 2 and our local club's Competent Helm ticket before they come out with me - which will be late spring.

Got to get a wetsuit and bouyancy aid and a few other bits and bobs.

Video anyone

Did the RYA 1+2 this summer. Not as easy at it looks, had plenty of practice getting it up the right way as it seems they go a lot better with the sail pointing up! My local club has a big "Cadet" fleet and seeing some of the kids sailing is a real treat, no wonder we still turn out world class sailors. I never realised what a buzz sailing can be until you get it right and get the boat skimming across the water at full tilt.

I'm an instructor at Bewl, but have hung up by teaching boots so to speak! Any questions feel free to ask!

I hadn't realised you were local, will keep an eye out for your car on the road!
