Lots of old pale male and stale folk there. Must admit it looks better on the trailer from a perspective point of view than those on water pics that make it look really too chunky.

Looks like side flex through that thin floor could be a problem, get a heavyweight on them sides .

Will be plenty strong enough when they have added the weight like they did for the 5 tonner

Probably finish up with a aluminium skeleton inside, transom linked to thwart linked to mast base, stop the Hull changing shape whilst sailing, particularly in the lumpy stuff.

Funny you should talk of hull changing shape, like one thing would be cool if you could alter the rocker to suit different conditions.
We've got a simple new device that changes the rocker of a kiteboard, via it's carry handle, it's attached at two points so the top of the handle twists the handle trys to straighten so it bends the board more flat or if you twist the other way the board bends more.

So you could do that to a dinghy.

Sounds like a plan, till it goes bang.

IIRC there was a N12 (or maybe it was a Merlin) with an adjustable hull shape?

why does it say RS on the outer stern quarter?

If they’ve not thought that, or the ‘pornstar’ thing thru, what else have they messed up?

Those decks look like a nightmare to make stiff enough too.

So it’s a ‘no’ from me
