Sounds from the other thread as if the revised RS boat may be at the show as well. The prototype I sailed was already pretty useful. 

That will liven you all up for a few weeks........  Wink 

Suprise, suprise.....



What, that it was useful? Designed by Jo Richards, it had a pretty good pedigree.

Sounds like one for the sea club and the other for the lake then?

They both sound really interesting, what a change that would make that we're spoilt for choice..

I'd wait til you see it Simon, that video is clearly still the proto, another rumour I heard, the Clinically Obese Finnbois have bulked it up in the nose area, to accommodate their great bulk and ruin yet another lightweights dream...

Hopefully it will be Nero's Zeros... and it'll burn down Rastegar's empire!

So will it be Daft Punks or Heroes with their Zero's?

Either way, this is the theme tune they should have picked for their video.

because it looks really nice Tick, and it appears to sail well- nice glide when you see it in light wind.  

And it's an unstayed unarig, meaning it's got lots in the bag of tricks for fun downwind sailing...  without all that kite nonsense that simply doesn't work on small courses / round the cans type sailing most of us do with dinghies these days.  

I liked the prototype- and I'm looking forward to seeing the production boat one day.
