Emmessee Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 Just a quick question. Where have all the 5.0's gone. They were a magic boat. Fast and easy to sail. I see the ones in the USA (they call it a 500) have a new squarish topped main. Looks the goods. I would much prefer to sail a 5.0 than a Hobie 16. And the other advantage is you can drop the jib off it and you have a great single hander as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

berny Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Hey Emmessee (what is the meaning of that tag?) There's a N5.0 v H16 thread on Catsailor.com. Interesting reading. I don't know if there were that many 5.0's in NSW. I haven't come across more than a couple in my years of racing, one from Keepit I remeber. I thought they were a bit heavy. I'm going for a sail at Balmoral tomorrow, interested? [This message has been edited by berny (edited 08 July 2006).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmessee Posted July 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Hi there Bern, Emmessee is my initials. MSC. I remember in the 1980's when there were about 20 5.0's at the Wildcat regatta. They weigh no more than a H16. I do think they are nicer to sail as well and pretty quick one up. How was sailing on the weekend??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
