well it didnt originally have a bowsprit , its a modification that this guy has put on, it says how he did it on the web page. But it orginally had a white sail area of 13 odd square metres.

Bow-sprit on a 1982 design, that's pretty cutting edge for that era. Not too sure how the hull would cope with a rig generating high loads though.

the hull alone when i first discovered it at the very distant corner of our club felt quite light and very robust so im becoming more and more tempted to try something it looks like it could be made into a quick 2 hander or even more interesting single hander... i was thiking for singlehander along the lines of old 200 or 3000 kite mayb, old moth sail, shortened 600 mast or there abouts, i already have a carbon bowsprit and foils are easy enough to make. what i have on it so far: Start of Manufacture: 1982 Edited by Chris Noble |

The Wizz has a displacement weight of 70kg so a rocket it could well become if set right

Chris, how much does the boat actually weigh, is she quite light? Looks like it could be a bit of a rocket ship with the right sails and a carbon rig. The hull looks like it should plain pretty easily

reckon if i can get hold of the one at my club i could easily do sum mods and make a pocket rocket out of it yet, not sure if the gunwales would take the loads of a trapeze tho... |
