I'm sure it will be a fairly wet ride (that's the plan!), but the longish length and shortish mast will hopefully make up for the low freeboard and deep forefoot.
There are some boats that do their best to make you forget that sailing is a water sport. This ain't one of them. But it should be as easy as a Topper to right from a capsize, so no drama, no time lost - just a buzz!

Looks nice Peaky, but is there enough buoyancy forward? It just, to my eye, looks like a downwind nose diver.... I hope I'm wrong because it really does look nice.

Apart from being an unstayed singlehander, with no wings or kite    But B14s are beautiful, so I'll take that!
Its probably the low freeboard that reminds of of that.

i was thinking more cherubby, less freeboard but the lines from below look very similar to some of the computer generated images i saw of the more recent batch of boats

It reminds me of something I've seen very closely indeed. Is I Luv Wight here, what do you think Andy?

Cannons.  It definitely needs cannons.  3 on each side and one on the bow?  The bow one could double as a pole for the assymetric.


What could possibly go wrong?
