Hadron

Ah he's turned up here whilst I'm berating him elsewhere..

Tom it's not what you wrote, it's that I'd value more of it, I understand you have been constrained to a small area and being the photographer you so obviously are, using the picture paints a thousand words syndrome.

But it's not enough for fanatical enthusiasts like where I am at the moment, I want to hoover every last drop, I am interested in that boat have followed it on and off, thought it would be good for my lake activities and it certainly looks faster than my EPS and with a lower PY, maybe I'd even be in with a prayer for a change.

So I'd have liked it up against similar boats, like Blazes, Phantoms, Laser etc, then I'd like to read what kind of sail it has, how it's cut, how it depowers, how easy the boat is to tip over, I note even you managed to capsize that would instantly worry me, I don't like all that tipping over nonsense it's very disturbing.

We need a scale of 1 -10 on tippyoverness, the same as we need a scale 1-10 on actual speed if the PY won't offer a speed scale maybe some clever chaps like you and Dan and co could work out a fact based performance index, then a really enterprising bunch of dinghy professionals hooked up to an online mag could make a bunch of money doing what I suggested in that for the magazine post.

There's so much y'all could do that we want and would happily pay money to read, I just hate it when I pay money for something I was actually looking forward to reading only for it to last a few seconds..

This.

Then Blaze v Phantom

Then Supernova V Hadron v Whatever else sits at that level.

readers are readers, they're buying more second hand stuff than new, monetize an online boat test only bit and watch what happens (I'll be sending in my consultancy fee )

If you don't, I'm minded to set one up myself, so get a move on

Originally posted by SUGmeister IMHO look a bit like a two man dinghy being sailed singlehandedly with the jib taken off.

Exactly what I thought. The freeboard just seems too high and the mast somewhat further back then you expect on a SH.

The quality and content of the mag has hit an all time low and I won't be renewing my subscription.
