I got a chance to sail the Mx Ray when it was new and fresh out the wrapper (a yellow one infact)...it was great fun to sail and from that point on never looked at a Laser ever again. The Mx Next looks sweet - I hope it makes sales...it certainly looks like it should have the thrill factor!

Not everything is about racing you know! When was the last time you just went for a sail?

So long as you can generate some power through righting moment.   The only way to do that on the Next is to sit right aft - surely not good for drag?

It's ok, the pasties I've eaten provide me with more than enough righting moment LOL

Did Jack say there was some hype?  really... 

'their owners hanging on to them?'  Why, because they can't sell them?  

hard to find?  Both of them are for sale on Apollo Duck right now
