Hi,
I followed a link on the Skiff Asia website to see boats and there was a list of lots of high performace dinghies (i don't mean their bytes, 29er's and 59er's) and on the list there was a '79er' and i clicked on it but nothing happened but it said that it was a new high performance boat !!! Is this another Ovi speed machine................or is it some random boat that is only is Asia? ------------- -[Franko]- Chew Valley Lake Sailing Club RS600 933 |

Compared to other sportsboats (707, Melges, SB3, 1720) this looks cool. Just look at the hull shape and wings. Add a few traps as well and could be powered up even more... ------------- Bonnie Lass Contender 1764 |

they'll have to sell it for less than the megles or 1720 or people will just not buy it, not sure if it would take off in the UK anyway given the competition. ------------- FLAT IS FAST! Shifts Happen |
