I have just added Hadron (demos) to the class selector for the GJW Direct SailJuice Winter Series entry process.  Anyone wishing to book a Hadron H2 demo boat,  please enter and pay in the usual way (use 000 for sail number).  Boats will be subject to availability.

I really fancy a go in one of these, but do I fancy a go trussed up in a dry suit freezing my nuts at the Bloody Mary, or that Oxford Blue some of the Solutioneers are thinking of having a bash at... It would be interesting to see if it handles as nicely as the Solution.

I'm with you on that, Graeme. I will freeze just watching! We already have a top class volunteer for the Bloody Mary - Doug Powell, who has sailed a range of singlehanders, including Phantom, Blaze and OK.
We shall definitely have to meet up some time next year and let you have a sail in an H2 - especially as I know that you would pull absolutely no punches in your critique of the boat - but I am hopeful that you will be very positive about it.

Well if you have any spin skills, I'd have thought it's a win win scenario, if I like it, then that's fine, if I don't then I'm just a short arse t**ser who can't sail for toffee anyway, so where's the risk?

Blimey! You can read me like a book. You pretend to be as cynical as I pretend to be. Have a good Xmas, Graeme. (no, I mean it, sincerely).

For a comprehensive evaluation of the HADRON H2, see the March edition of YACHTS & YACHTING magazine, which is available now. A four page boat test article by David Henshall is in the mag.

Aramid in the hull? If it was me I'd ditch that. It doesn't do much in the laminate at all structurally, it is a pain to work with, absorbs water and is expensive. Stick some more carbon or glass in and you wiil get more strength and stiffness.
