Nope, just saw it as Cirrus answering a question. Of course, Zero and Aero sailors could also have jumped in and pointed out that their boats also do the job and are faster than the traditional ones.

Jeepers ....
I'm sure the questioner can make up their own mind .... they did pose the question after all as to what was available. As is already rather well known my commercial interests in this arena are coming to an end and I wish Hartley Boats very well for the future. But in the interests of addressing your own current queries - 1) Yes (it would be hard to keep 30+ boats are Burghfield without being found out) 2) Yes .... and 3) No ! (well not yet) Is there anything that offends your sensibilities in a 'regular punter' making the odd contribution here or are permissions required ? .... and just for the record I also rather like the look of Hadron myself already having sailed at Brighlingsea on a couple of occasions when testing was underway ... they are produced in the same factory where all Blazes etc have been produced in recent years so difficult to not know a bit more than most about it at this stage than most ...

To answer my own question. No. Just Cirrus sailboats hijacking a thread to promote its own interests. The thread is about Hadron H2.

Are there any other clubs apart from burfield where you can race against Fires. Opens? Nationals? Dare I say it, Worlds?

The boats you list are the ones I was thinking of, which compared to the longer, larger boats heavy people can sail are slow. The Fire may well be an exception, but not everyone likes wings sticking so far out the side to provide righting moment. Still rather more user friendly than he Int Moth, though.

You missed Minisail off your list Cirrus

There seems to be reasonable choice at 65 kg
..... Solution, Europe, Streaker, B.Moth, Lightning etc for a start ...
even a Radial at a pinch inland. The ones below are at Burghfield - come along and have a look / go. |

I'm over weight at 70 kilos, and agree there are loads of boats for us to choose from, but the lack of leverage means they are either quite slow or really hard to sail. I'm happy with slow, mostly.

At that weight I'd have thought you probably have more choice than most.It's the bigger guys 85kg and over who have a limited choice. |
