yep they are ! but the 5k is soooo much better for the same money



Les they weigh like a bajillion tons as does the 5k. I need a go on a 5k just to see what its like! They definately looked cool though.

Actually they are a lot lighter than a 5k,(hard to believe I know  ) and I've seen a couple of them in pieces after a day when we were sailing the 5k and had no problems  (one actually ended up with the mast sitting inside the hull!)
