But you have no idea just how many racing and test hours went into testing Icon to get it right ! Anyway it was lots and and lots .... but we all enjoyed the process really. Mike L. |

Nah ... a mear 46 pages; the RS100 managed 168 pages; the icon 99 ... The dear old V Turd 62 pages. In terms of pages/boats built the V Turd is the most ramped ... |

The 100 cant win it with hundreds of boats built and sold, the icon has 5 or 6 boats and 99 pages! Who has actually seen it sailing? I have seen a few pictures but never seen one on the water...
I have to agree that the v twin must take the prize! How did the alto fair in this ratio? Or how about the rouge skiff! There do seem to be a lot of boats that GRF has sailed that are associated to a lot of talk but not a lot of sailing! The 100 luckily escaped because he didnt like that anyway, it was too much hard work. So what happens when he realises the v twin is by far the ugliest boat anyone has ever seen, and that like the 100 he cant keep up with a laser in it? Which class will GRF ruin next? Answers on a postcard everyone!

Rouge Skiff?
If you're referring to the Rogue Skiff, rather than some lipstick-related antipodean sailing item, then it was never a commercial project, nor intended to create a 'class'. Any following, interest and dialogue was greatly appreciated at the time, however at no point was it pimping, it was simply curiosity. The same can be said of the V-Twin, deluded/misguided as he is, I doubt very much Mr Fuller is expecting to commericialise the project.... he's more savvy than that, but if he can hook a few fishes on the way then I guess that adds to the experience. So the big tests in internet boat pimpsville... the X1 barely any pimping, how many boats sold? Icon, modest pimping... 3 at the Dash, not bad considering the N12/RS200 are established D1 very poor misguided pimping (initially)... what 6 owners at the nationals? RS100... group pimping, community driven... over 300 boats sold, 50+ at nationals pimp right, win. |

I think it's a win- win as long as it's not over the top. I'm sure Cirrus appreciate the publicity but more than that it is a great opportunity to get feedback and for prospective sailors to voice an opinion. And of course, Y&Y get
more traffic. |
