Can't see how they are expensive: you get an epoxy vacuum bagged foam sandwich hull that is built to the highest standards, and really lasts, carbon mast and top quality rig. The price compares pretty well to other singlehanders built to the same modern standard.

I meant expensive for a 15 year olds 1st proper single hander because i won't get a massive amount for my 12.

I do agree with you on most of the other points but a moth still looks cool not that a 300 doesn't it's just i'm light enough for one and even if i don't have it that long i can still say i've had a moth and move on

Just looked up 3434 on the database and it says it's a Baggy. How come you got a Baggy with that number? Have you visited the 12 database BTW? It's quite interesting if you're into 12's.

The boat is a Baggy because that is the design the builder decided he wanted the sail number applies to when it was built. Yea the data base is quite interesting thanks

Yes, I understand that (I think!) I just wonder why anyone would build a baggy at that time: it must have been a pretty out of date design by then, surely? The baggies where in vogue in the '80's, when I was sailing 12s, around 32xx

Some people built baggys because the design was successful as a single floored boat and they couldn't buy a competitive double floored boat because they tend to be expensive.

I have known people take an amazingly long time to finish their boats... It might not have been out of date when h *started* to build it!
