Bladerider X8 - 10,000 Euros, Free Shipping!

Hi Guys,
I am selling my moth to get a Laser again so i can sail throughout Uni...
Please forward this onto anyone you know that might be interested in my boat and getting into mothing, it would be greatly appreciated! :

I have a Bladerider X8 in excellent condition for sail, with 3 masts, 4 sails, 2 booms, 3 riggings and extras and spares for everything to keep the boat going for ages!
The boat has been set up and tuned to perfection, with the latest technology including ride height adjuster, carbon fibre North Sails, aluminium and carbon gantry, beach trailer, spliced controls, carbon backstay and forestay. The boat has been maintained very well and raced to its ability, finishing 25th at the Dubai World Championships in a superstar packed fleet!

The boat has been used to train by numerous of the top 10 moth world sailors and I purchased it second hand a year ago from the world no. 7 at that time, Andrew Brown (NZL).

I can provide videos, photos, and absolutely anything on the boat, which is worth in excess of 60,000 dhs with the upgrades added to it, making it the second fastest bladerider in the worlds, according to the moth worlds, and also the second fastest junior sailed boat, likewise at the Moth worlds. I am not going to ask for this amount of money, but im looking more at the 50,000 mark.

The boat has done me very well over the last year and has made me enjoy sailing like never before with many heads turning to check it out, it has taken me from a complete beginner level to finishing in the top 25 at the moth worlds, being an incredible achievement which I always enjoy reflecting back upon!

However as I leave for university, it is time that I sell me boat in order for it not to sit and rot in Dubai, when im stuck in the UK!

Please let me know if you are interested in the boat, I would gladly take you out for a test sail and can deliver it and help rig it and give beginners pointers on how to sail it, gladly!

Give me a shout if your interested!

15 days to go

15 days to go until the worlds! - wow

The last few days have been pretty full on! JP and Arnaud have arrived and have been getting sorted for the worlds everyday so far! They have also pulled a new trick out of the bag! You will have to wait until you get here to see their secret!

Two days ago there was very little wind, very marginal for most people, but weighing a good 7 or more kilos less than Alex helped in taking off quicker! I have been using my KA sail recently, because I fell through the North V8, But I can't wait to get that sail back and get into using it properly!

Today's wind was Nuclear, and I only got out at around 2. By then JP and Arnaud already went out for a morning training session and came back in, when I joined them for their second time, the waves were measured at 1m and choppy and the wind was 20 - 25. Far too much wind for a light weight like me, and a pushrod that had snapped, but was still functioning marginally...

That meant I thought I screwed my boat over, the push rod connector had snapped and I was on very low lift most of the time, until the axle got caught and then stayed on a reasonably high lift. Very confusing at first! but when I sailed to Jumeirah Island and pulled my boat up onto the beach to have a look at what was going on, I realized the problem, and made my way back to DOSC. Would have been the perfect day for getting the GPS out and doing some speed runs! piss warm water and strong wind!

JP came to my rescue, and I should literally pray to him! He had the exact piece to fit a Bladerider, even though he is a Mach 2 sailor, so he helped me replace the piece. He also helped me cut down my pushrod length so that I get more lift from it and that the foil flap reached the bottom edge of the centerboard, for reverse lift.

I have a plea! If there is anyone coming out for the worlds, and has a packet of batten spacers still spare, and would like to sell them to me, please let me know, I am in need of putting a few onto my KA, so the battens don't keep going awol!!

Sail numbers are on, next thing to sort out is Name on the sail! That will be interesting getting it sorted out, along with the UAE flag.

More sailors set to arrive soon, so Game On!
