Ronstan SK4

Should have been more clearer, what I meant about 12 rigs is the versatility of having the 3 rigs like the 12 class has, big rig, medium rig, small rig etc, but in such an instance, the design breif that seems to be coming through from what has already been said is light-weight OD, so it does seem very doubtful. What would be interesting for us is having the option of putting a No.1 skiff rig on the boat whilst sailing out of class but even then, doubt the boat would be accepted to race alongside the 12 foot skiffs so it would be very limited to what could be achieved sailing the boat with a bigger rig.

Although I haven't sailed the SK4, how the boat performs would only be part of my consideration when judging the boat. Class structure and standard of racing would come very highly too, hence the reason I said my current class ticks more boxes. The boat may be an absolute rocket ship but if there isn't widely available people to race against and a well established circuit, it wouldn't genearate too much of my interest but that's my personal opinion.

Hope the boat is very successful though and does establish a good fleet because it does look like a cracking design. If it's aimed to take on the 29er XX, it definately gets my vote.

The 800 is used by Sunsail and god knows most of their clients know less about sailing than a small kitten, cant see a int14 ever being used by a sailing school. (please prove me wrong I'll work for them for free )

Although have suggested that a friend of mine uses moths for stage 1, but only if i can watch with a beer and not be envolved. I mentioned this to a Coach and they didnt say it was a bad idea.
