Hadron H2

   Genetics says I'll be 65kg until the day I die.... Not my fault, but it puts me out of  the weight range of too many boats....

	Nutter, I have 20 years on you and I weigh 80kg. I will be sailing my H2 this year (if I live that long!).

	Keith... I was hoping the H3 would be N12 like, with a bit more form stability, and 75 odd square feet of sail.. But with all the design innovations of the H2... I've got 22 years on Chris Gould.. I can't hike like I used to!

	Will be interesting how the optimum weight works out, the light hull and comparatively wide beam may not put all of the emphasis on pork power

	Nutter, H3 is already in gestation, but may not take the form you indicate. Chris Gould (28 years old and weighing in at 67kg), managed the H2 very capably last week in quite strong winds.

	I'm right behind you, Keith... love the look of the H2... as Porky said, a sensible boat for us older gentlemen.. I sincerely hope it catches on... Just make a smaller one, H3 perhaps, for those of us who haven't eaten so many pies....

	Very good, Porkyman. You have summed up the H2 in one succinct sentence.
