hey- in my sailing team, everyone wants to sail 420s (or other double handed boats) rather than lasers. at many other ycs, they've abolished lasers altogether cus everyone wants to go doublehanded.
anyone else finding this to be true?
its kinda worrying me... our team still has a strong laser group b/c we have good coaches, but the level of us and of our competition is dropping, esp w/ regards to the 420 kids...
i think its mainly cus they force everyone through optis, and the kids who dont love them (or who do) want to sail w/ someone else. and now most of the competition is in 420s, so its a vicious cycle...
any ideas?
thanks
