Fledgling18 Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Hello All, I currently sail a 2002 Tiger at Port Melbourne. Myself and my crew are relatively inexperienced but we are keen, race most weekends and woulld like to upgrade our boat. Eveything is as you would expect from on a 10 year old F18 with original rigging etc, but the cunningham is particularly ineffective. We can either spend some money on some new sails (either hobie or not), get a more recent tiger or try a different design (Infusion?). The dilemma is complicated by the fact it would be nice to participate in the hobie nationals next year if they are at our club (tbc). Were we to change boats we would spend $9kish including trailer (unless we manage to hang-on to our existing one). Any general advice or knowledge of boats available at that price would be very welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavparker Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 I'd wait a couple of months to see what happens with the Olympic selections. IF the Tiger's selected then the natioanals could have some good numbers present and the value of your boat will hold. I had a Tiger and changed it over for a C2 - awesome boat.

yarra bay Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 there are some good capricorns around for sale still a good boat and just as fast as the newer designs, the tiger is out dated now and will not be selected its not even up for it and it will most likely be a f16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fledgling18 Posted February 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Ok, thank you, I think we might wait - we prob can't find a Capricorn for $9k? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
