No really... There is some good news coming. But I'm out of the country at the moment and need to touch base with someone before spilling the beans!

Hardly up north! ((-; but excellent news anyway. Loads of hiking single handers around  and nice to see an easy-ish trapeze boat for mortals to have a go at.

I wonder what the price may be?

I understand it's fully battened; how is it to tack in heavy weather? Any early Blaze type issues ?

They've been cutting sails for them in NZ for thirty odd years, with some of the best sailmakers in the world involved. Think its pretty safe to assume that the rigs are reasonably sorted out.

yes we know!

... you'll also notice the completely different mast rake, cut of sail ( including draft ) and board angle!
