Helsinki puts out a fine boat, fer sure. I started on 420s & Lasers then J22's and now if I race I crew on whatever I can ride, cause I am no longer in the position to hit the water every weekend. Take advantage while you can. I grew up in a racing community and it is an addiction that only poverty can cure

If you get the chance, see if you can catch a ride delivering or crewing to the Antigua Classic Yacht Race one year ( or more ). It blows them all away, even though it isn't on the Swan/Rolex or ect... circuits--you get to see some of the retired America's Cup boats and the like.
