the original 29er got pretty twitchywhen twin wiring in a breeze,
admittedly i only ever did it by me helming standing up and hanging
onto the crews handle and pretty much sitting on his back knee but
mates of mine rigged up a second wire. These things often ended in
tears but thats probably just lack of practice. Tho i think i agree
with JimC and would want a bit more stability, take the 49er for
example, its very stable, the problem with keeping it upright comes
from all that power.

UK is a biased market - the 59er is going absolutely head to head with the RS400 where you have an established fleets and a good circuit. Its not surprising really that it hasn't taken off. That doesn't mean it is a bad boat or that they aren't selling elsewere though... |

I'm not saying the 59er is a bad boat - in fact it's quite a plesant boat to sail if you want to sit out - however, the market is the final judge and I believe the sales have been not a patch on the 29er/49er. 5 entries in last years nationals after being in the market for 4 years?? |
