No it's not, the Solution is a far better boat than a Supernova and it's a better weight carrier than it's marketing might suggest.

Lightning 368 then. Just le jobby.

Yes - exactly. A 12 foot Hadron. I don't really want to faff about with jib, dangly pole and stuff. I simply want a straight-forward Solo-type boat without the weight and expense. Loads of lovely Baggy Trousers, Crusaders out there for under £1000. Keep the rig and main and shift the whole lot forward a few inches and change to centre-sheeting? Maybe have a separate start at N12 meetings - one way of getting the slightly older boats out on the water, while giving old-but-skilful sailors like me a cheap but interesting new singlehander? Hmmmm.

12 foot version of the Hadron, by the sounds of it. Why not keep the jib?
