 Gives me hope yet, can honestly say it's not happened to me yet, plenty of other exits, but none quite like these..   Edited by iGRF - 11 Nov 13 at 8:09pm | |||

   there's a few times that overenthusiastic kit hoisting has resulted in me being caught by the stick waggler. When I say "caught by", I mean "lumbering backwards into. (and yes, quick tug on the falls of the cunno as the helm flicks the boom is our usual route to sorting a recalcitrant full batten) | |||

   I've done most of these at some point. Best one was when the screws holding the straps pulled out, so I was left with a foot over the edge of the boat and my head underwater. My crew didn't notice, (concentrating on the jib, like a good crew) and just shouted at me to luff up, as my brother was overtaking... Then collapsed laughing when she looked round, rescue coming a poor second to amusement. We married a few years later... What I like about the Vago one is the crew trying to hand the tiller back to the helm, rather than grabbing his hand! | |||

 Have to agree, that is a very funny moment, the thing is he nearly accepts it before realising he needs to be in the boat first !    | |||

   Hi James
 Great looking boat, shames about confusing people by using the Laser logo and Phantom name for a cat. As the boat shown is French I can only assume they didn't check the name out against UK dinghy classes. The Logo is a bit close even the French must no about the laser! Gordon | |||

   It would be a little difficicult even for a non-sailor to get a Phantom or Laser confused with a foiling cat, wouldn't it? The boat looks excellent. How long before the 1st Rotomoulded foiling cat for Wildwind or the like? | |||

   the Sunburst logo is a registered trademark.... whoever's behind this project needs to rebrand before they may find themselves with a summons to appear in a Connecticut courtroom.   Nice toy though, can we see some tacks and gybes too     | |||

   Does it only have one foil on each hull?  The rudders look like straight daggers, and I can't see anything else.  It does look really well sorted though.

     What could possibly go wrong?
