..... and (if) I was willing to be on my knees downwind then it looks great ...

One of the ideas considered but not tried on this 'Hybrid' was to recognise that many don't use decent knee pads.  So if ever a production version was on the cards, in some distant future, I would look at having the floor with sectioned recesses to inset  high(ish) density foam.  The areas would need to be fairly large - but at this stage it is simply not necessary and would be an extra complication.  Would be nice to be able to wear a shortie wetsuit in Summer and no knee pads ? Yes I know !

PN ?  Not of interest any more – given previous experience with that rat’s nest ...best I don’t comment too much.  I’m maybe not as conspiracy suspicious as say GRF but some of the ‘experimental’ numbers produced way back could have done with some ‘full workings shown’ to increase confidence at the time.    Far far too early to do more than speculate anyway ....

2021 changes are the ones which might not happen if not enough racing takes place.

Well done Cirrus and GRF for actually doing some development!  I like the look of both :)

The toe straps look a long way away?

Would have been a good April fools joke to mock one up, with Farr 3.7 given a ridiculous number and Laser number substantially slower.

It will probably be the same with the new Racing Rules, until after the Olympics next year.

Do you think the PYAG are locked down? They'd love to get their fangs into something like that, what do you reckon they'd give it 969 or 970, should be enough to kill it like they did the Icon.

Well I'm glad you did Mike, I was going out of my mind watching Corona Virus not only confining me to barracks but boring me senseless on here, great to have something else to talk about.
