There is a problem here - I get the feeling that there is the need for a trapezing singlehander for leightweigts in the 50 to 60kg range. Why do we force our leightweights to stay in Lasers 4.7s, Toppers and Oppies when they could be sailing something more exciting. So come on RS, noboday wants your RS500 (see other thread). Develop a leightweight single handed trapeze boat to meet this gap in the market. |

When I was in that same situation I talked to a number of people in the
industry and none were interested, but I agree, there is a need for a
kind of singlehanded mini-skiff

WOW got it in 1!!!!! ![]() You couldn't be more right!!! That really is what is needed cos lots of my friends are in the same position as me but most are too light to sail any fast boats on the market. Forget the RS500 it's gonna be a waste of time against the laser 4k. 5420: just wondering where do you sail Thorpe Bay on the Thames Estuary |

it is grate for us to sit hear saying this becuse there a coulpe of people hear that would need thing but rs and laser are company and they need to make money so they make things that a lot of people could buy and that is people around the 75-90 kilo range most people are i have resonty been to rs and laser and if you look around and think about it they are not boat bilders any more ok they bild boats but they are more like argos or tesco there just providing what most people want that is what i think is the good thing about ovington where they have not got big enof yet to be like that so if you want that kind of boat know it would have to be a class like phatom where any one can make them so people can make theem as one offs and make money on them but not sell that boat as to make lots of money thats why laser stoped making the EPS and the vortex ok they where ok and selling but there where never going to sell in the same numbers as the sb3 and they could not make every boat they desine so the thy had to make a chose what one to make and that was not ones where the best boat it was the one that was going to make them the most money |

Not wanting to be confrontational here 5420 but can you please use some punctuation. It makes reading a fairly long response like that much easier. |

Yep
and I think you're probably
right. The companies make boats to appeal to a wide range of
sailors and that's mostly adults. But I still think the idea of a
lightweight singlehanded trapezing dinghy needs to be seriously
considered as a new design.
