Of its time there wasn't - im my opinion - a great deal wrong with the Harrier though its hasn't stood the test of time well at all. The main issues with it were it's weight and single skin construction.

Neither would be an issue today, and even with its original rig a stiffer lighter hull may have fared differently. Unfortunatley as a single hander produced in the 70's it falls to my usual rule of thumb that singlehanders are slow, overpowered or both.

Picked her up this morning. Am so chuffed and happy with the colours. The fluoro pink looks amazing in the daylight. One happy H2 owner

Thanks to Keith Callagham - designer, Simon Hipkin - builder. Great job.
(fluoro pink foils plus fluoro pink camber stripes on the sail)

Was impressed with acceleration from a standing start, H2 put a video on some time ago, turn of foot that could put you out the back.

I think that might have been from the last Bloody Mary event and was me in my old boat 115 - a big gust hit and flattened most of the boats around me and the acceleration was quite frightening. I have actually fallen out the back of a H2, mostly post gybe when not yet sitting back down and a gust hits. Its a decent sized rig and a fairly light boat so it does accelerate!

did you trip over that big tank at the back? Looks weird to me having that due to being used to boats that are empty at the back. Are the straps that useful on top of the tank or is it difficult to get your feet under them? Are they only useful for shorter legged helms?

The tank at the back is not really "big", feels more like a raised floor than a tank. 95% of the time your feet are in the footwell but when it is really blowing or in big waves you do need those little straps at the back. I nearly had them deleted on my second boat but have been glad to have them on several occasions when it is very breezy and big waves.
