Rooster Project X

Originally posted by tickler A lady friend of advancing years (don't say I said that) visited the show on Saturday with the express intention of buying a new Splash. This proved impossible as there was no manufacturer present and the class association seemed unable to help. Determined to buy something she bought....wait for it....an RS qba, or somesuch  device. What else was she to do? No one makes a sit in, rather than sit on, boat which can be handled by a light weight lady. Solo, expensive and too big, Byte a tippy plank, Streaker and Lightning too much sail. Perhaps the small rig RPX would have ticked the box had it been available?

I'm pretty sure you can get a cut down Lightning sail. Does QBA stand for anything other than the rather obvious?

I would have recommended a Lightning, we do have extensive family experience of this class but there is no PY for the cut down sail and she was determined to buy new, so a Claridge boat would have been too expensive. Mind you goodness knows how much a new Splash would have cost!
