That's definately something to consider. At 89kg it's not exactly light. Jim, your a bit of a wooden boat expert I believe, where do you buy marine wood from? |

This is the page I am refering to; http://www.single-handedskiffs.com/pages/453351/index.htm The correct MPS figuers are here; http://www.mustoskiff.com/facts-and-figures.htm Quite why they would quote the main smaller, the kite smaller and the boat heavier that it actually is when the correct figures are easy to find is anyones guess ,,, also there is no aliminium in the spars and the wing width is not variable. I think some fo the figures for the 7 are also incorrect and again they have a carbon mast. regards, Rick

Thanks Rick, Next time I'm talking to Bram I'll point out the differences that are there. When he is talking about aluminium in the spars it may refer to the booms.......Does the MPS have an aluminium boom? |

We certainly have a carbon mast and boom on the 700. Ian |

Hey! Strawberry me thinks you should start with a daggerboard first before you build a complete boat! 
Sorry, that's a IN Cherub joke. |
