Does anyone have an old Spark for sale? I'm a Laser convert who has seen the light through the spray from the bows and am looking for something cheap to try to beat Kevin Dutch (unlikely) and maybe some of our other Sprint 15 helms- this means you, Steve!

Relative to what you get in bangs per buck from Laser all the boats on the for sale board on this site are great value!

My boat is 1237 & I'm proud to say she does well on the circuit, so no need to buy new.

Come on, you know I am only a wire hanger on a D18 who is let out sometimes on his own. The great JD (helm of the year 2005) is the one to aim for before going for the roadrunner. We will have to make it a rule that KD carries all his cups onboard, the IOSSC one should slow him down

By the way we cruised last Thursday afternoon to Faversham Creek and the wind died so we gently floated back to the club in an hour and a half - just as all the migrating ducks and geese arrived at the bird sanctuary. A surreal experience, as Joan said, as we each drifted through the flocks with them slowly parting to let us through!

By the way you put the downhaul you borrowed back on my boat the wrong way round on Sunday last - just because I beat you!
