more interesting than your link winging it!

Hull/ deck shape looks a little odd, when your going upwind presuming your just behind the dagger, the boat gets narrower so you get less righting moment

WAS history in the 90's, they mean...

I can see the idea of the MX Next, sort of, but can you imagine it in a shifty wind on a lake? Just vile, it would be. Or launching off Hythe beach? Where is it actually designed for?

30 knotts with ease.  WOW, It looks quick.  But then so do some of those 125cc motorbikes. Sailing is very different to snowboarding!  We dont have a lift to get us back up to the windward mark...

It created an all time record for the highest ratio of hype to delivery in dinghy design...

looks a little like a contemporary IC hull without the sliding seat and while they are quick not really 30 knot territory are they.

It looks like something you want to pick up and chuck round the room made of paper, we have a kayak that looks very like the front end, I'm just wondering how quick and how far down the mine it will go before it flips..

Doh all it does is make me want to get V3 going somehow..

I'm sure it will take a nice HDR photo on an italian lake.  

As for chucking it around the cans on a puddle in Warwickshire, I remain unconvinced; but applaud the hype and belief the designer seems to be able to generate.
