Looks like the main is made from the same material as the 800 main.

I think it might just be the light in the photograph, it looked a lot better in real life.

are those sails for real?! I think that I would be a little worried if my sails looks that tired after sailing for what can only be a maximum of a few months if they were the prototype suit! Or has someone developed a new sail frame which you re-cloth with cling film before every sail?! |

Looks finished to me! Unless the hulls missing, of course...... |

Except it's shorter and fatter, and the V3000 hull weighs only 50kg! Edited by Medway Maniac |

I have spoken to a guy at RS and he says "The hull weight is going to be in the region of 80kg with an all up sailing weight of around 118kg" and the boat is aimed at the 115 to 165 weight range Seems a bit like the L3000/V3000 with bigger sails!

Still looks a bit of a box though... No figure for the weight, either. Edited by Medway Maniac |
