Yeah don't listen to me Ginge, it's a fantastic boat, just can't get enough of that downwind video posted earlier, it doesn't look like a water-pusher much at all, actually I really wish I had one, they look like such fun.

Er, I was actually jesting, truth is I haven't even begun to cost it, don't really think there's much of a market for it, there aint that many ageing midgets with massive sailing egos in need of satiation.

We may bring our lasers when we come to Grimwith so I'll have our sailing gear, although I could just ask if I could borrow one at the club, taa for the offer :)

Er try 28k and maybe we'd offer you a few grand trade in on your old tub (+ a seat at the burning if it's made of wood)
Boats have been too cheap for too long they need to be priced realistically and there needs to be customer service, finance options and a sensible dealer margin, not quite yet though i still have yet to sail it to prove the magic and it has yet to have the 'extras' added, inflatable buoyancy on the wings, water ballast take up, wing sails etc...

How much Graeme, can you beat £8k? How far is the Vtwin off a fireball?

Listen to Rogue everything he says is true, and it's been redesigned recently to work better...
Here's a pic of me sailing the new version, the V2 comes with a jib now.  |

Hi Ginge,
It sounds like you've set your sights on a
vortex. Id personally take no notice at all to what ROGUE has to say. He doesn't
have a clue about the vortex at all. His reply/comments are just a stir up. At
YDSC, the vortex has won probably 90% of all races. In a force 4 wind you cant
say its heavy and has no power in the sails as it will clock up 9 kts on the
beat. 16 to 20 down wind with the kite up. You're very welcome to come to
Yorkshire Dales SC and try our demo boat. If your use to trapezing we will get
you out in one of the asy boats where you will have a grin from ear to ear.

There's no such thing as 'too northern'
I'm hoping to come up to Grimwith this month as at beaver it's not far. You can hardly say beaver has a fleet of them with the last one being on the water more than a year ago ;)... |
