Anyone seen this before?

I've only seen 500's with single trapeeze, Good idea though! Must be great fun for the lighter sailors!

It looks really slow, why would you need 2 traps seeing as they are underpowered anyway?
Needs to sail more...

For insane winds when your normal boat will totally own you

An easy to sail twin wire boat for light weights which so far doesn't exist (unless you want a spice, yuck!)

it looks pretty good. yer does look slow but doesnt look like much wind in that video, yer totaly agree with m_liddell would be good to have a forgiving lightweight twin wire boat.

the 800 can be quite intimerdating to some people, i like the concept of having a boat which u can sail with 1 or 2 wires and the 800 isnt that, the twin wire 500 would mean that once someone has mastered single trapeze boats they could easyly upgrade.

I doubt its gonna be class legal, as the boat is one design, and was designed as single wire.

I'm sure there is another twin wire boat for lighter weight people too... can't for the life of me think what it is though!
