Thanks for the response Peter.
I'm based at Rutland Water so a little way from you. I'm used to
sailing cats so the appeal of sailing slowly and at 45 degrees is not
too appealing to me, but sailing over the winter, keeping relatively
dry and being able to have a cuppa whilst racing does. I'm really
looking forward to it. I may even take the wife along!!

The boat is totally new to me, not even sailed it I just liked the
sharp modern appearance and took the plunge, so I intend to get used
to it over the next few months before getting too serious!

No doubt I'll have a bundle of questions for the forum. But I'll keep
you posted with first impressions.

Regards
Colin
