I thought that is roughly how it can be supplied? It'll take far longer than a weekend to build, though, and take some basic woodworking skills - the end product is rather more complex than a wardrobe.

I feel that Young Fuller is warming towards a Mirror, stitch and glue anyone?

I appreciate your point and your enthusiasm, but some of us lightweights find our 17' Canoes, 20' cats and our yachts to be just as much fun as our 7' windsurfers.

The Flyer appears to have rather misunderstood what makes a skiff type boat tick, and with its failure (which was also predictable when you look at what people buying fast boats want, often - to get an adrinaline rush, not to spend weeks in a garage) so went the company.
I think Grumph is looking for something even more simple. Trouble is it also has to be waterproof and to sail well, things which an Ikea wardrobe doesn't have to do. The Snark, sold in supermarkets in the USA in times gone by is probably the only sailing dinghy to have the accessibility GRF is looking for, and I don't think he would be impressed by the performance. |

Really? Show me the link where I can buy it then, all the bits I need ready to assemble in a box, with an instructional DvD. What about that single hander Merlin thing Vanquish or whatever it was called how is that supplied? |

That's it, Hadron, that should come in a box as well. With Pictures on the front.

Can't see the box with the pictures but this is the result
http://www.littlejoesolutions.co.uk/hadron/ Comes out of iGRF's favourite class - the Merlin Rocket but cut down for Billy No Mates - otherwise known as singlehanders. |

The Mirror came with everything supplied, paint, glue, tape, instruction book. No DVD, as they hadn't been invented yet. There are still companies who do this, but not much for racing boats, as the market has shifted.
