Almost too beautiful to be used, what a perfect thing? Doesn't need any clever colours to enhance her clean, fine lines.

I can't wait.. Reckon it's fast enough I'll be able to sail it right up the beach to the clubhouse before I get out..

Pretty shape .... but what's it's niche, its "USP"?
Where's it's market slot compared to say: the RS Aero, Redeye and the SuperNova? (lightweight foam-epoxy for middle weights) Byte CII, Europe and Splash (for the lightweights) Phantoms, Finns and Streakers (for the lardy) Lasers (for the stuck in the muds) Solos (for the elderly .... and Mike Sims ![]() OKs (for ermm . what IS an OK?) etc etc There seem to be an awful lot of single sail, hiking single handers in the world today. Is this one special?

Perhaps it's the answer to those who think existing single-sail, single-handlers, are a bit, well, boring....? With the exception of the Moths. If its easy to rig, launch and recover and more interesting than say a Phantom or Finn to sail downwind, then, if its not eye watering money, I'd venture there's a strong potential

If it's only got one sail and no trapeze the only thing that'll make it 'more interesting' than a Finn or Phantom (or OK, Streaker, Laser, et al) downwind is if it is twitchy (just 'faster' doesn't equate to 'interesting' once the novelty wears off) and twitchy will see a healthy secondhand market in about a year's time. It does look very pretty though.
