As the title says i am in the market for a new boat, and have decided that the mosquito MK1 will be the best option as i have sailed one in south africa and like the feel of the boat.

The boat i am looking at is 1714. Has any one got much info on the boat. Most likely i will pick it up a couple of days before the Nationals, so i was wondering if people who are new to the class are welcome. I do know how to sail, i've had the last 6 years in lasers some time match racing aswell, but still am a junior, the question i am leading to is there a big junior base at the nationals at all? or would i race with just the Open class.
