Perhaps we should help Mr Rooster out then - I will start a new poll. But before I do what is the exact question.

Imagine you are in the market for a hiking singlehander would you buy Project X?

If off Steves original design brief then almost certainly yes, especially if its built to cope with a 90kg + sailor.

How on earth are Rooster going to market something without a handicap advantage?

Wing Wang, the last thing you'd be allowed to do if trapped in a room with me would be to fall asleep.

no- it will a.n.other unarig offering not a lot more than a laser, except maybe an ergonomic benefit.

Besides if Rooster gets his marketing demographic right, then he'll be targeting a lower weight range than the 100kg guy sailing on a light wind puddle in the middle of nowhereshire... which kinda puts me out of the picture.

Of course he could offer multiple rigs, and call it the same class, different rig configurations. He could then issue several MR PY numbers and MAKE the RYA give him several Experimental Numbers a year later... but I heard through the grapevine that this ain't such a great way to go, causes confusion and pisses a lot of people off.

Back to the original question - has anyone mentioned the OK? OP is probebly at the light end weight wise, but a high standard of (probebly middle aged male, I guess) competition, and a huge international circuit if travelling is wanted. Not sure the UK circuit can compete with the Laser, though?
