In different times the mirror was successful because it was cutting edge with the design for the available skills and materials.
 I think the bic open is good and the fevera is ok but these rota-moulded products are physically small and quite small boats. I am looking forward to the breakthrough in technology for a cheaply produced hull not to feel horrible.


Just need to adjust the CAD cutting file for this process and the Farr 3.7 could provide a good test bed for that theory. It certainly fits the - not to fast and achievable by all, criteria. (thought I'd hijack the thread as it's gone so far of topic all ready!)

They are a fantastic boat - the kids here love them. they are incredibly easy to right which gives the kids heaps of confidence. We got small sails made and the kids sail them happily from 7.
We need some more - has anyone got one for sale?
