I've heard it is made from carbon reinforced recyclable thermoplastic, with built in gopro and iPhone mounts, padded seats, 3dl sail, magnetorheologic mast, shape memory alloy battens and a built in cup holder.

The silence of real news is deafening, so I shall continue to make up rumours.

I'm sure it will come with some kind of embedded camera so you can record your neoprene clad ar$e and share it with your farcebook "friends"

There's an android app too- RS are all inclusive, but sad to report that android sailors are already claiming the iPhone guys are too fat and getting in the way at the start line- there's a vote to split the fleet scheduled for next week.

RS expect a record vote return on this issue- personally I think 20% is a little optimistic, but apparently the sailors really do give a sh*t.

I've heard it has a polymorphic spinnaker, that flies from the magnetorheologic mast capable of transforming from asymmetric to symmetric by passing a micro electric current through it, (saw it on a batman film), then I woke up !!

Don't even know what a magnetorheologic mast is ?!!!

I dunno, but I'd put money on the first 50 sold needing some kinda retrofit within the first 6 months!
