But there isn't much info about it's performance, apart from a note in the class association about voting it in:
" The current one has a very full shape which makes it not very effective on reaches. Vareo sailors who race 'round the buoys' (rather than on windward/leeward courses) were particularly keen on getting a flatter cut."
I wonder if there will be a similar option for the 100 one day ?

There already is... buy yourself a 100 (if you really want one) and add a custom kite, hell that Vareo one'll probably fit.  Okay so you can't use it for class events  (officially) but really, think about it for a second... if you rock up then its windward / leewards at all class events, so you can use the one that came with the boat on those occasions anyway.

They get angry if  you check directly infront of them though. 

Re the question, I'd say the 300 is the best fun I've had without a trapeeze single handed without a kite. 

I love sailing it
