Hadron H2

Hi Keith
From your link,(Nice hull colour) boat 107 has amuch better layout for control lines, sitting on those cleats would be a nightmare.
At the moment still enjoying my Phantom and events to much but would consider one as stated in the future.

Thanks for finding those shots.

I just don't see why they can't realise the damage the whole sport suffers when boats like this are artificially hampered by the sort of none sense that obvious 'spoiler' tactics get employed by the PYAG class protection Nazis and whoever is pulling the same strings at Sailjuice.... etc etc .

Our resident conspiracy theorists wallow in this sort of ‘discussion’.  Logic must be that if you repeat stuff, any stuff, often enough you create a new reality.  There is enough of this b***ocks doing the rounds in general society so I suppose we must expect some of the same here ...  

I see no 'conspiracy' myself – there is little more than traditional indifference out there.  Sure things could be better for new classes trying to gain traction, I for one should know, but to suggest that someone pulls the strings at Sailjuice etc simply to thwart new entrants is just plain misguided and unhelpful. 

Sorry GRF .. you don’t encourage beneficial change that could help by implying there is a plot against (name class(es) here).     The less interesting truth is almost certainly indifference is at play and to confront that you need to start barking up the right trees first.     

If I remember correctly the first great lakes numbers for the aero/zero weren't that far away from the current rya numbers. Am sure someone ( Jim c/Paul etc ) will correct me if I am wrong. :)

Gentlemen, I started this to introduce the Hadron dinghy in both its forms, H1 and H2 . For some reason the subject matter keeps drifting way off topic. Please desist. The Hadron is a cracking dinghy, it is different and does need looking at with an open mind. The internal fit out of the hull is entirely up to the owner, Simon Hipkin will fit it out as you wish. The dinghy is still in its relatively early stages and is not being pushed as some of the other designs are, certainly not as the ones with a huge budget. The PY number will only settle if more are raced so thats going to take time. The only way to really find out if this dinghy is for you is to sail it. Keith and Simon have two demonstrators and are willing to let folk sail them. Age and size are immaterial the rig is multi adjustable and with a bit of thought can be depowered to suit most. I am biased I own one. Give it a try and open your minds.
