No photos but I did get a close up look at it and had a chat with Glen as I believe we are going for a Sport England grant to try and get some (4 for £10k was discussed, a few quid more if we wanted the 'racy' sails).

Looks really good in the flesh, I liked it a lot and think it will make a great double handed trainer for older kids and single handed trainer for adults.

I will have to get a ride in one and see if it sails as nicely as it look.

Can you imagine the bun fight on build & break down! But if this means the stand space cost will be considerably less for dinghy class associations (somehow I doubt it) then it would be good, especially with the extra exposure. But I fear organisers / RYA would push up costs using this as the excuse.

Possibly, all the rumours I have heard are that it will be Ali Pali for next year and that getting a show sponsor is more of a pressing issue than a venue.
