Looking for preferably a 05 rules spinnaker for club training as an upgrade from the 12sqm 91 rules kite that i currently have. Anything considered.

PM me or contact.

Keep an eye out for an old RS800 kite on ebay.

Suicide blonde had one, this extract is taken from Iain Christie:

'It's an RS800 kite which measures at 21.5sqm. To make it class legal it needed to lose 0.5sqm, however with the way the measurment rules work in practice it was far less than this. Leaving the head and clew as they were, I took a sliver of material out of the kite that was only 10cm deep at it's widest point, halfway up the leech. Almost not worth bothering with!'

Thanks

I am watching ebay like a hawk, I am just checking if anyone has a spare spinnaker tucked away somewhere that they would be willing to part with for a reasonable price. But an rs800 spinnaker would be perfect.

I believe that the RS800 class have a forum.

I believe they do have a forum, but the things on there are normally on the more expensive end of the scale. But I am keeping an eye on it nonetheless.

Message Pete Barton. He is an ex Cherub sailor and "might" have something if you ask nicely. Worth a punt anyway.

Hi - I've a very good condition (9/10 - barely used) Hyde 97 rules kite I'd sell for £150 if you're still looking. Came with my 05 rules boat and I've never felt the need to use it.
