The slow boat racing, past the first five minutes of crash bang, is far more interesting to watch than the corner bashing classes.

IGRF, so you were the guy with the silly questions! If I had known it was you I might have trodden on you.
You are right, I exaggerated my weight by rounding up to the nearest 10kg: I actually weigh 76kg (including the yellow jacket).
Anyway, I take the faint praise from you as a sign that maybe you think we have done a few things right with the H2. Thanks very much for that.
P.S. The bailers are staying.

Very good! We were going to offer a free T shirt with every H2, but maybe we could run to a free H2 Owners Association yellow jacket?

Took these and uploaded them to facebook where there is a fair bit of chatter, and as I said there,
If you're knocking on a bit (or not) weigh a bit (or as it happens not) or are fed up with the PYAG numpties wrecking your Phantom class chances in open competition, this could be for you, at least for a while until they notice it, they haven't spotted the X1 yet so it might be a while, probably best to be careful to yacht it at places they don't submit returns and don't tell them it exists like the X1/ X0 .

If you consider all the good things, like it's designed to float low, all the flotation is in the tunnel, funny my drawings for the jolly old v3 included a tunnel like that for similar reason, that and you can sit on it when it's light maybe, depending on how far forward you need to be in the light. It's also got a thwarte, someone mentioned a passenger on facebook, maybe enough room, it's a fair old size,

They've kept the boom anchor point low so there isn't too much kicker distortion to the lower bit of the sail and if as he says, our Guy is sailing it at 75 kgs, that's a lot of bases covered helm wise, it's certainly got the displacment to handle 100+kgs I would have thought, I didn't ask how big the sail was, they all look big indoors but I'd guess it's upper 9 to 10 sqmtr more than enough, probably a bit more than I could handle in a breeze, but then that depends on how that fat head twists off and or how much rake you can apply.

I seriously think if you're in the market for a new boat this year you've got to give this one a go, I overheard there are going to be a couple doing the rounds, somebody was on the stand booking one for somewhere down the west country.

Shame about the self balers, but then not everyone suffers with sbac (self baler aversion condition). Good job I reckon, even if you have to wear a yellow blazer at class get togethers..
