"We have been experimenting with the 29er by building a slightly bigger rig, thrown in a mast head assymetrical spinnaker and an extra trapeze for the skipper.

The reason for developing the New 29erX is to create a managable stepping stone between the 29er and 49er, as well as hopefully creating a New girls double handed High Performance class.

From a performance side of things the New 29erx has impressed everyone who has sailed on it."

"Extract from www.bethwaite.com news section (Watch out for further news on www.bethwaite.com,  www.29er.org and www.ovingtonboats.com )."
