We came out of a gybe, looked up and the mast had snapped. Honestly, I didn't do anything!!

Right then, we expect a few decent pictures of her ladyship and your good self hurtling along in the 4k by next monday.  She's had a practice and it's now time for you to show us what she's made of.

more than ur average house. about 100kg i think. they do go well and when it gets to windy for anything else (45-50knots) get 3 friends and have the ride of ur life. was one crazy ride downwind and upwind just hurt.

pretty cool pic of a 2tonner at my home club, wind about 30knots
