I guess there has to be some features of merit in it for someone.

BUT. Sitting upright in that flat deck straight leg position would knack my lower back in no time and I would think it would take two men an' a boy to rotate it from inverted. 

BTW if we had a summer the sunbathing aft deck could be nice.  Cool

Certainly a bit of very good looking bit of Italian design, but difficult to assess just how good it would be to sail. Not sure how good sitting out would be even with the padded bits in some photos.

Some interesting ideas, and also some very unconventional ones. Don't know that I've ever seen a flush decked dinghy with bulwarks, and the hull shape is certainly different.

Think this one qualifies as sufficiently alien to my experience that its safer not to comment!
