Stop it now, it's cracking me up, tea keyboard moment.

Good, but you can't beat Oli "Twinkle Toes" Harris

Gives me hope yet, can honestly say it's not happened to me yet, plenty of other exits, but none quite like these..

there's a few times that overenthusiastic kit hoisting has resulted in me being caught by the stick waggler. When I say "caught by", I mean "lumbering backwards into.

(and yes, quick tug on the falls of the cunno as the helm flicks the boom is our usual route to sorting a recalcitrant full batten)

I've done most of these at some point. Best one was when the screws holding the straps pulled out, so I was left with a foot over the edge of the boat and my head underwater. My crew didn't notice, (concentrating on the jib, like a good crew) and just shouted at me to luff up, as my brother was overtaking... Then collapsed laughing when she looked round, rescue coming a poor second to amusement. We married a few years later...

What I like about the Vago one is the crew trying to hand the tiller back to the helm, rather than grabbing his hand!

Have to agree, that is a very funny moment, the thing is he nearly accepts it before realising he needs to be in the boat first !  LOL

Hi James
Great looking boat, shames about confusing people by using the Laser logo and Phantom name for a cat. As the boat shown is French I can only assume they didn't check the name out against UK dinghy classes. The Logo is a bit close even the French must no about the laser!

It would be a little difficicult even for a non-sailor to get a Phantom or Laser confused with a foiling cat, wouldn't it?

The boat looks excellent. How long before the 1st Rotomoulded foiling cat for Wildwind or the like?

the Sunburst logo is a registered trademark.... whoever's behind this project needs to rebrand before they may find themselves with a summons to appear in a Connecticut courtroom.  

Nice toy though, can we see some tacks and gybes too  Thumbs Up

Does it only have one foil on each hull?  The rudders look like straight daggers, and I can't see anything else.  It does look really well sorted though.
What could possibly go wrong?
