What made me take a look was the concept that it would allow 40-100kg to foil using three rig sizes.   However looking at the rig sizes (5.5/6.6/7.7), I'm not convinced that unless its really windy a 100kg sailor would foil using a 7.7m2 sail on an unstayed mast?  Thats only a little more than a standard laser sail and around 75-80% the area of my Phantom sail. 

Otherwise it looks a neat package and all for less the £6K, not to shabby at all.

Oops, I typed 11600 AUD into Google, its good but clearly you have to be searching the write thing...

Originally posted by transient I had a quick butchers at the site yesterday, couldn't see a price ecxept for the fee for booking a building slot. Mind you, I  didn't look too hard.

Its on the boat information page  $11,600

Looks like a nice piece of kit but landed prices, based on 11,600 USD would be £10.5K plus subject to container sharing etc. Certainly not the £6K or even the £9K. Having said that it would be a great boat even at the price IMO

When the bladerider was in full swing and they were looking to bring out the FX I went to Weymouth to have a look and probably would have bought one if they could make it a financial success. Second time round assuming the thing performs broadly like a international moth albeit with probably a lower top speed and higher wind speed for take off do people think that this could be a viable class. Or is it too much of a niche product to get any one design racing in the UK.
