It definitely has been the Radius 4.8. Thank you all for the info!

Unfortunately it was gone this week-end so I cannot provide any further pictures.

I wonder how it sails compared to a Musto tough. Some basic parameters (sail area, racks, trapeze, kite) are somewhat similar.

My guess is not as well, but hope you soon find out and tell us!

Here's some kind of spec sheet for the Radius 4.6...

...but it's all in foreign, maybe skslr will understand.  It looks longer and heavier than the MPS but with more sail area.

Interesting that they claim that the sail (big jib) provides lift, which I guess must be correct to some extent.

Also, the boat will carry one or two people, max weight 130kg.

The 23 sq m gennaker on a carbon pole sounds adequate, to say the least!
