My wife & I had an 800 (we weigh 21 stone) and we found it a bit of a handfull. You notice most of their events get won by 2 blokes...

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!)



so a twin wire boat for light weights does exist (in the form of a spice)


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!
 

The 800 is a light weight twin wire boat.

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

yer totaly agree with m_liddell would be good to have a forgiving lightweight twin wire boat.


...........you mean like an 800????

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.
