There is a trailer park down the road where I've seen them hanging out. I just couldn't resist. :wink:

We prefer to refer to them as mobile home resorts. Me neither :D

Thanks to Andy for the tramp I received from him. I'm all set up now and plan on going out soon, but, I'm used to a 16, what should I expect from the 14?

Very, very, very, very, very, very, very weight sensitive. Learn to roll tack and after you blow the tack, going backwards. Did I mention weight sensitive?

Things happen faster on a 14. Less inertia.

If you don't have lightning reflexes in the big stuff, you will. Fear is a great motivator :twisted:

I can second that. I sail a 16 and a 14. Both are awesome boats for different reasons. I find tacking the 14 (non turbo) can be a bit more of a challenge then the 16. Keep the rigging loose and movements smooth.
