You will have to wait and see! FYI the 'R' class was not the first two person foiler either, I 14's banned it some years back '98 - 2000 I think when we first started using the rudder foil. We are working on a two person foiler, this at present is a 'one off' customer commision. |

Those wing bars look like they're aluminium to me- a bit of a compromise to help keep costs down?

How about a first attempt at a mass produced, non-development (assumingly) therefore reasonably priced 2 person foiling class... (to my knowledge...) ...clever cloggs |

Concept boat....If there is intrest it will go into production. May end up with Carbon wings, this is a design prototype on show there is for sure more development to be done yet. |

Not cheap, I think I might have seen this last month I visited that guy to
investigate the possibility of foiling a race board which he can probably do but the price is probably too rich for our market.. Interesting outfit they do a foilkit for the RS600 but I expect you know that already. Another must see at the show.. |

Saw this being tested at Portland recently, certainly looked impressive and less extreme than other foilers. Thought, I have may have seen a small child as a crew on one occassion, so could well be foiling for the masses |

Looks like it could be a nice inland singlehander without the foils, but with a jib for catching those interesting windshifts, but plenty more leverage than singlehanding the Firefly.
