Nice try, KW, but EPS will always hijack it given half a chance. There's more of us than you think!

Loo seats are very comfortable, much more so than scaffold poles!
Especially when they're bright yellow like mine.

Allowing for photoshop, I've seen the EPSs at Whitefriars looking like that. Shortly after, they look upside down, though.
Always did look like a loo seat, though. |

Yep, and, to be fair, I love my EPS  .....with me at at touch under 11St wet through, as soon as the breeze hits around 12mph I pretty much DO resemble that photo
Yeah, it's hard work upwind, especially if you try and go really high, but sail in 'skiff-mode' and just go for speed over height and it's not too bad. I go 'Assymetric' downwind and it's all good usually....on the reaching angles it's fast enough for me 
Thing is, it's all about getting out and go sailing surely? Newest boat/old boat/fast boat/slow boat/fashionable boat/unfashionable boat.....I'm not fussed really, I just go out, have some fun and come home smiling. If that's in my EPS...or my Lightning.....or the 420.......so be it

I'm still of the opinion that the folding in wings I put on my singlehander were a better solution than sliding things. Might be more expensive to manufacture though. I had a pivot point located so that the wings when folded in met in the middle, and a line each side you pulled in and cleated off to hold them in place when unfolded.

From my experience of pulling them out to go sailing, I don't believe it's beyond the wit of man to design wings that would reattach just as easily. Something to push the wing-end onto in the boat, and Velcro straps on the gunwale for example, et voila. |

There is an EPS at Hunts. I have never seen it going that fast, except when being towed.
