	Why dont you try making one it should be fairly easy! i have never heard of the class so i doubt they have class rules for the open events etc so it doesnt need to be class legal.

	True but you can find the dimensions yourself and make the board exactly as you would like it as long as it fits in the slot Edited by Wave Rider

	Yes and you could try and look up "yamaha hopper" in google and see if they have a web site and see if it is on there.

	here is a hopper! looks like a laser 1 to me! have you tried a laser on daggerboard to see if it fits? also you could write to yamaha, I'm sure they have the boat spec somewhere
	Needs to sail more...

	Am i missing a link to the picture somewhere, i can't seem to see it. I got hold of a phone number for yamaha, but i need to take the details to a yamaha dealer, and they will then get in touch with yamaha uk who will get in touch with yamaha japan who may possibly have details. I think i'll just try and make one.
