   haha, they'll be going when i find the time to sand it down properly.
It has about 10 layers of paint on it by the looks of it which equates
to far too much weight!!

	yes it doesn't have much freeboard!!! Plus side of it being a bit damp is when you stick it in the drink you don't really notice any difference! :-)

	but IMHO they look good but don't work. The rig's too soft so upwind they go sideways in gusts. That's possibly ok in a fleet of MXs but awful against other classes and whenever I've seen them they constantly have to sail in dirty air. [/QUOTE] It is more to do with fact that the boat has foils that are designed to work at high speed and that means when going up hill you have to foot it for speed all the time and then climb back up when you've built your speed up, a bit like Moths other wise they stall. Unfortunatly due to the small numbers ( ahead of its time basically ) that were sold the skills to sail them properly haven't really been developed. You have to work it quite hard with your body up hill as well. It is an unusual rig that takes time to get used to. But by-heck does it shift off wind. I've got mine for fun blasting when I'm not in the Cherub.
