Wing wang! Where's those pics?

It's obviously a new hull, cos it says identical rigs.

Right click on one of his facebook pics. You seem to be his only friend.

I can't see anything not being in that privileged position..

Have a guess at this early teaser photo and just what it might be on .... a bit of a design/development testing  Hint - free standing rig and not on a Blaze/Halo hull either ....

I have a streaker for sale at the moment and have been inundated with interested enquiries, mostly coming from the south.  Maybe there is a supply and demand problem.

It's doing reasonably well. But it's still very much a northern boat with little
knowledge on the south coast. At fed week this year I spent all week
explaining to people what the boat was and the fact that the class had
actually been around for decades.
A good solid campaign promoting the boat across the south would see far
more boats sold.
And then putting money towards possibly attending shows at other
countries and promoting the boat across the continent.
From that he could create nice consistent revenue through selling sails,
covers, etc etc.
If someone's going to invest in creating a new boat, i think there should be
a very obvious reason to do so..... so what's the reason?

Does the Rooster streaker need a marketing campaign though?  I would not have thought so; it's pretty successful already.

I just can't see the point of this boat. 
The RS100 and D-one, whilst could be considered yet more boats to dilute the pool, they do offer something that either isn't done or has been done badly. 
This singlehander though..... what does it offer? 

I can't help thinking, the money spent on developing this boat would be better spent on a marketing campaign for the Rooster Streaker.
