After my aborted attempt to get started with the Spirit (glad its now on the water though) I am about to retire and from Sept will have time to start IOM sailing at Eastbourne.
The Shiraz looks like a good boat, and not stupidly priced ready built/rigged with the RMG winch (great way to sell a 99p mabuchi motor at £200, but hey ho there appears not to be a better alternative) does anyone have experience of this boat they could share?
Are there other alternatives I should consider? (I emailed Trevor at Wirral Marine regarding Gadget+ but have not received a reply) Any others?

Re: Shiraz
OK well I have placed an order for a Shiraz which should be arriving at the end of September.
There are a wide variety of boats at my local club including the current favourite Britpop!, so I will be able to get some comparison (will hardly be a fair one however as my sailing ability wont be anywhere near the other guys in the club!!!)
Looking forward to getting fully involved in IOM now I am retiring.
