 Topic: The Best One Design Boat EverPosted: 06 Dec 05 at 1:35pm |

Hi everyone. I was sitting around today and a thought came to me. What is, The Best One Design Boat Ever? Now I believe that for pure speed, excitement and closeness and quality of racing the Laser 4000 can not be beaten with it's excellent weight equalisation system it remains the best boat around for ultra compettive racing. So there's my opinion what about yours? |

Gotta be the Scorpion for longevity, pure pleasure to sail, and having the sharpest metaphoric sting in its tail.

On your bike, the scorpion is slow and is outdated it is an old persons boat! The only thing a scorpion would be good for would be my wood burner at home!

Is the Scopion one design. Don't think so. Before you can do this (and itr will get silly as Rick says), you have to define what one design means.
One set of plans and tight tolerances ? - I.e. Laser (in theory) Dart 18 - very tight rules. Or is one-design a single hull shape with a choice of sail shape, but area controlled ? - Like say the Tornado. Discuss.... [Runs away fast] |

Youve got it the wrong way round... you mean: one design like one set of plans and tight tolerances - like the tornado (or scorp) or one design like one mould owned by one manufacturer, and no tolerance - like the laser or tempest. |

D18 has multiple moulds, but you understand what I mean. The D18 rules are VERY tight so everyone has the same kit. The Tornado rules are tight, but there are still a handfull of builders who could build you a boat (although in reality Marstrom builds them), and then the rig etup is fairly free...

Scorpions aren't a one design there are three differen hull shapes as far as i know and no restictions on the rudders except for the banning of T foils so scorpions are definatly not a 1 design
