Originally posted by Doug.H All the hate and loathing for old boats, the disgust at the nostalgic people who try to bring older generations of boats back to the forefront of dinghy sailing and right there on your own boat you've slapped what looks remarkably like a fireball bow on the front of it.   Graeme, just accept the fact that you're a sentimental old git and all this noise about ditching the old classes is just a vain attempt at covering up your desperate love and obsession for all those boats refusing to give in to time.

Nice project - good luck. Looking forward to reading further instalments.

The real fun of sailing dinghies is in the challenges they present. Get rid of the challenges and you make it boring to sail.

All boats have challenges no matter the static stability.

The Weta seems to be selling quite well, which is a very stable Tri. I'm sure it has it challenges.

I admire people that think out side the box and don't hold to the current dogma.

Hope it works out well GRF.
