It looks like a 600 and a 49er crossed. Mental.

Oh, remember not to buy if your club won't allow boats without a py eh alex

It was designed and built by a very good friend of mine Ron Price who is a Senior Lecturer at Southampton Institute, sorry I mean Solent University.

It is absolutely amazing - to look at in real life and to watch on the water.

Basically when Ovi's were looking for a singlehanded asymmetrical dinghy to sell Ron missed the deadline by 4 hours to the Musto Performance Skiff. Needless to say when the Musto Skiff went into production and 1 arrived at Netley Sailing Club, the Micro Skiff absolutely anialated it on the water...think that photo above shows how and why!!

It's 12ft long, how can that be too big? Open 60's are single handed too, they must be waaay to big then.
Needs to sail more...

It is 16ft wide though, a 600 is only 6'4-7ft.
