Surely, what they are saying is that they will be having a tracked mast as people have asked for. Hence why the problem has been solved?!

the way i read it (and after looking at the picture) , is that they have found a way round the problem, so they do not need to use a tracked mast.

only time will tell who is correct.

"the final tracked mast will not be seen until the Dinghy
Show in March.".... How plain do you want it? They plan to
have a tracked mast sorted by March.

I do like the near vertical stem. Maximise waterline and a fine entry, like a Merlin or 12.

I just downloaded the picture and enlarged it (clever of me). It looks as though there is no "rim" at the deck/ hull join?

Like some other things - sailing is more enjoyable when you do it with someone else

But there's no real need to maximise waterline length on a one design: just make it a bit longer if you want to. I think you get a much better entry with a spoon bow....
