Probably a good thing as he seems to be hiking pretty hard.

You guys are going to have to have six-pack abs to sail these hiking assys as usually with a hiking boat you get a bit of a rest downwind but to get best performance I think you are gointg to have to "send it" fully hiked

I know, it's not often you get away without having to buy a new combi base.

I heard they were going to support the exchange rate, so what sort of money
was it?

Or did you get some special web P.R. deal?

It's mainly things that I appreciate are cases of function over form- the wing arrangement is pretty ungainly and the offset pole makes it look like an after thought (as it is possible to have, without wing-wangs, centre line bowsprits that come past the past with careful design). The foredeck is less than pretty too.

Of course, this doesn't matter really if it's good to sail, does it?

Nick:
I was going on:
RS100 L=4.3 B=1.83 SAup=10m2 Kite =11m2 Sailing Weight=76kg
i.e data that is probably immature, but not significantly different. Kite area has not got a large effect on overall performance.
D1 L=4.23 B=2.31 SAup=11m2 Kite =15m2 Sailing Weight=75kg
Both make RM & tot Displ assumptions based on a (kitted up) 100kg 1.9m sailor
The graph that I just posted gives all spinnaker boats to the aforementioned regression formula, giving a decent fit across the performance range. NB the D1 and RS100 are both to the left of the mean line, the same amount as the Vareo, as the disparate nature of the craft under consideration (i.e. Gull to 49er) means that how the data fits the "type" of boat will determine where they sit on the graph, so more accurate estimations can be made by jusdging against broadly similar craft.

I certainly moved fast this weekend, Sat was a baptism of fire, and I hadn't attached the main halyard correctly so it slipped down....some of the pictures don't do it justice, however fied that now and today was a lovely sail.

Saw a D-One out on the water at Hayling Island today. Looks a lot prettier from a distance than it does close up :p Wasn't paying it much attention what with the racing, but it seemed to be moving pretty smartly.

Fantastic weekend just gone, sorted loads of stuff out.

tells it all if you are interested.

Think I might have my work cut out on 950 PY but started the learning curve.

As Nick says, time will tell
