29er xx

Didn't say that Hector, but at the ends of a market spectrum the pool of
targets is very much reduced. You are right that the 29erXX is focused on
a very precise area of high competition, but as we all know that is one
thing and the real world another. in other words as an average club
sailing 29er owner, when you want more you don't change class you buy
extra bits for the boat you have or for lightweights looking to go twin you
can buy into the brand of Bethwaite ( I know which has more pulling
power). This makes great business sense, I would be doing it myself. But
it will squeeze an area of market and IMO a class with little funds to fight
back. Especially one that has had to move up the performance scale
already once ( with little time to establish its self ) because of the
pressure in its market from the 29er, it is / was the same boat bar the
length.

In fact I may well be getting a 29erXX myself.

except the 200 is the only one that isnt foam sandwich

Well that's a damn good bit of polyester, the lines and joints are so neat and close fitting.  Compare it with the polyester of a Laser 4000!  Does anybody know about the RS boats are some poly or are some epoxy?

Originally posted by Chris Noble they are still quite light, but is the 49er not also polyester?

No, the 29er is polyester and the 49er is epoxy.

have the xx's got their own suit of sails instead of the 59er suit now? i thought 29ers r glass fibre or i there lots of different types of glass fibre?  oh well im am goin 2 fuind myself a heavyier crew then get 1  where the money will come from is a mystery.
