Probably about the same as the Cherub's this year.....so not many. I think the SB3 has pretty much cornered that market. |

Mate, there aren't that many 18's either and frankly you should try sailing
a 12-ft / 50-kg twin wire boat with 15.5 sqm / 21 kite and a 90 cm min chine width first before knocking the amount of people that sail em'. 20 boats is a fair turn out for a pretty extreme boat.

CJ.. clearly you've not sailied the boats or you'd know you just can't compare a K6 with an SB3.. An SB3 keel weighs more than a whole K6. How can it be 'cornered' from two different corners. |

I don't see why not. They are both SMOD versions of a 3-person keelboat with an asymmetric. The original comment, that the SB3 has been much more successful in that market, is quite evidently correct. Look at the numbers at Cowes Week. |

I agree with stefan here... to someone who doesnt know much about
keelboats they both seem to be based on the same principles of a 3-man
asymmetric keelboat

| But the K6 is a 2 - 3 person boat, closer to a Flying 15 than a SB3 |

I think the Melges 24 is still going well but not so strong in the UK. ------------- |
