Dinghy class analysis - niche markets

I make no apologies for the geekiness of my spare time interests. Having the Y&Y database of classes to play with, and the ability to graph this automatically, I can't help myself...

My first offering is to help manufacturers identify a gap in the market when dreaming of new boats to invent. Each dot represents a different class:



Look at that! An obvious niche or two to exploit...

If you're wondering why there is a red dot outside the left circle, it is for the Access dinghy, where you don't move your body weight.
Doubtless you will enjoy pointing out my mistakes, so I will make no assurances of accuracy or apologies for errors!

I think the bit in the middle where they overlap contains the symmetric Trap/hikers like the Furball, 505 and of course the L2.

so a twin trap symmy is called for....or even a single hand trap symmy, now that would be fun

.....the symmy ain't dead it's just taking a rest

Yes, it's a Venn diagram. A bit nerdy (or reminiscent of 3rd year primary school) but it is becoming popular on many Internet humour sites...

Redwing! Thought that one might bemuse a few people.

Originally posted by Peaky I can't think what else the 4th dot is?

If you mean the assy/hiking singlehanders, I'm counting: RS100, D-One, Vareo and Canoe (though two of those kites count as optional, I know).

also you forgot the mx ray on the hiking assymetrics
