Hadron H2

There, it's got everything I like in a boat, except those damn self balers and a stayed rig, but reckon I could live with that but for the huge rig, I've come to realise 9 sq mtrs and above is a bit much for 67 kgs to hike in a blow Fattwistyoffhead sail or not, but if I were bigger I'd be all over this like a bad rash.

First impressions of the layout (the H2 looks fantastic in those 'on the water' shots elsewhere. Where do you sit in light airs upwind when you need to keep the back end out of the water? Looks like it's on all those cleats to me. The reaching toe straps on top of the aft tank look either very hard to get a foot under or far too high. That distinctive centre buoyancy tank looks distinctly 'marmite'..... brilliant idea though. I think I'd like one but there's no way I can justify a new boat just now and by the time there are enough used ones for them to be affordable I suspect I'll be hanging up my hikers. Will stick with the Blaze for now (and, FWIW, in my short acquaintance I haven't found the Blaze to be sticky in the light stuff). 

Its a nice looking boat and in theory should stop kneeling, but assume you would have to be sitting over the cleats on the 'thwart' downwind in the light?

David, That is my point, that this is aimed at the more , may I say it , Mature sailor! 

I still like it, if handicap racing were my thing, I'd be sorely tempted.... it just looks elegant and a joy to own, sail and potentially race.
