But a dacron sail won't set you back £1200 like that Finn sail will... |

Needs to sail more...

Err BA is sailing solid advanced composite sails. Finns are so 2012.
(someone has to knock that one out the park) |

Hasn't BA got a new job on the board of that electronic foil control system company?

Graeme,
Well I didn't sail it alongside a Laser, but Jo is not only a nice guy, but a great designer (oh and an Olympic medalist) so he knows a thing or two about slippery hulls. It's a very light boat with more width and a big enough sail so it goes.

Simon- when we can compare apples with apples, not prototype development pears, I'd be interested in your take following your Supernova experiences...

This one is cheaper at £500 and looks great value against a laser sail at £450 ... any new modern design need a film sail to at least look the part. ![]() |

Jim, last time I sailed some prototype boats and commented very neutrally on performance, a couple of people got a bit upset

I like it!
The rig looks a long way forward but then I like the look of Contenders. Looks like it'd be a handful on a run in breeze.

And it looks like it's good for that.... I wish it well and hope it's free from racing b**locks, handicaps, bandits, SAil Juice judgement. A boat for a simpler life maybe? |
