I'm guessing that its an experiment to try and see if solid wings can be built lighter than racks and all the associated gubbins of tramps etc.

The 14s have tried it recently with a couple of boats as has Clive Everest with his Cherub, although clearly there are some benefits on a trapeze boat that aren't necessarily there on a moth.

So come on Cookey enlighten us?

I'm trying to work out the benefits of this design... other than the PR value. And I have currently failed. I'm sure Mike has a an argument though.

Shut Up Bitches!

Somebody ring the style police!

An abomination has occurred.

Get some paint stripper quick!

Who did that?

Shoot him/her, shoot the entire family, make certain they can never breed.

Disappointed by the colour. Ford RS ASBO green or orange would have looked good (but with a weight penalty)

I'm just picturing that on a roofrack at 70mph - would the car take off, do you think?
