About Me

I started sailing aged 10 with my Local Sea Scouts, 1st Sandleheath, in a clapped out 420 and some pico's. I bought a topper (21050) at age 13 and sailed it at Spinnaker Sailing club Ringwood. Now I'm 6ft and 70 kilos so I thought a new challenge is in order, after floating in a N12 for a season. I'm buying 455 and this is just how I get on I guess... Enjoy

Why 300?

Why 300?

-For a new challenge
-Something Different
-To compete, at least on the water, with Phantoms
-For some Fun
-It's fast, the fastest thing I can sail at spinnaker Sc
-For some competitive racing in class events

Insurance

Seems Weird to get insurance before I have the boat but thought I should sort it out today. Got a quote from Noble of £120-00 and thought that it was pretty reasonable, however dad told me to ring Newton Crumb as we have an old Enterprise insured with them, so to humor him I did. I'm glad I did, got the boat and Trailors insured for 90! Massive saving for me as I'm broke now all the moneys out of the bank, my Balance is about a tenner.

It's one of those moral of the story moments, and lets face it, it does pay to shop around

On a brighter note, one day left to go. The guy I'm buying from has said he is going to show me the ropes (literally) tomorrow afternoon so that'll hopefully help loads as the whole kicker bar assembly seems a tad confusing. Having said that I'm sure I could have got help with it as the Class members on the yahoo group and Y&Y seem to be very very nice and helpful.

I cannot wait untill tomorrow!
