what?
in light winds you sit at the front in a 14, at the front in a 9er, at the front in a cherub. in big winds you stand at the back in a 14, at the back in a 9er, at the back in a cherub. |

My bad... just had a look and the 9ers looks a lot further back than normal but still in front of the crew for normal sailing

Last time I checked the 9er, along with almost all other boats with self tackers had the jammer just behind the mast. Im talking about the middle of the cockpit, ie undernieth where the mainsheet is taken off the boom |

You mean like they've had in a 49er for almost 10 years?? Not recent technology unless I've misenterpreted what you've said. Nothing particularly grabbed me this year. New tasar looked good. Solo video was awful... showing them wallowing around in no wind- not a marketing tool! Convience of the car parking is appreciated though- much easier/ cheaper than LBS. |

Nothing particularly special but just generaly very well thought out
and brand spanking new. A couple of nifty little features like leading
the jib sheet back to a swivel jammer in the middle of the cockpit
which im blatently nicking for the cherub too...

If it doesn't break it's too heavy; if it does it wasn't built right
