Umm, £25 for a website? Is it worth it? What do they say about the Xenon?
Do they like it? |

Apart from the fact that the Xenon has 95% of the sail area of an RS400 and three times that of a N12 it's a spitting image...
Can't wait to try hiding it in a N12 race

Pay your £25 and you will find out - I think the Daily Sail is worth £25 / year and complements this site well. Rick |

£25 quid for one report I don;tthink so (SORRY) think I will wait and hope to get some feed back from the Endeavour guys Topper seem not to be advertisiing the boat over much, try and find any photo's as rare as rocking horse! |

Not worth the money. I've had a look and the report is poor and
inconclusive. The boat was only tested in very light winds, which can't give a full picture of its capabilities. |

Umm, this morning I'd decided a Vision was the boat for me. After reading
about the Xenon again, I feel I'm swaying towards one of those once more...

Reading the daily sail I really like the comment "... "There is no doubt that the Xenon is not really a boat designed for out and out racers ..." Good choice for the endeavour then! |

I see where they got the national 12 comment from, the main is quite a
similar shapeI guess, but it would dwarf a 12 completely...

You are assuming of course, that the guy who ran the review is an authority on out and out racers not just an amazing judge of scale...
