 The Punk is several years old now, and I'm sure Dan said he couldn't see a mass market (or even a small, dinghy sized market) for it when he built the one off, so unless you've heard something new, I'm sad to say I don't think the Punk will be at the show.

No but the XC5 catamaran which he was involved with will be there I think. Makes the RS Cat look like a toy, lots of nice detailing and of course it was refined by Glen Truswell who did a great job of finessing a slightly off the pace Merlin into a National champs winner  in 2009

Come on, I just don't get this secrecy like it's going to make a difference, surely if forward orders were placed in advance, then folk could say, we're already in production.

What is the upside of keeping something you want to sell, to make money from, secret?

This business never ceases to amaze me.

What are you on about? What secrecy? I've just looked at the Dinghy Show plan, I can't see the company on there but the boat might be on another stand, who knows? Why don't you go along to the show and find out. Now there's a thought.
Needs to sail more...

but we've heard nothing, therefore, it's a secret.

I go every year and almost certainly will this, but I'd rather go having ordered one and be going to the show to pick it up you know like other businesses that have shows, launch stuff at them and people buy it, now wouldn't that be a change in the marine business?

I'd like to be reading ads, specs, wether it'll be like the original Punk, have that mazing sheeting system, what sail and mast etc, stuff like that.

But nothing.

As usual the business has the marketing skill of a retarded ape.

Here, I'm sure I read it here, how else would I know?

Plus I've been bothering that Dan ever since the FOM for news, but he's cagey as hell, won't say anything.
