Maybe a challenger would be a tad too tame but the Weta 4.4 trimaran was getting the sailing anarchists all hot and moist a few weeks back.... http://weta.org.uk/ http://www.wetamarine.co.uk/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeWddx-xUMk  Edited by Norbert |

WETA?!?!?!?!? I've sailed one and i expected it to be really really really bad....... i was pleasantly surprised......... it was just really bad I dont think i would ever buy one, it just felt like it was stalling all the time. The only plus sides i found was that the racks were carbon and the Gaastra sails looked awesome! But still.......I wouldn't have one!! Adam |

Weta looks like it nosedives a treat in the videos. Please someone buy this "microskiff" who is actually going to sail it? Seems the last 3 or so owners just never got it wet! I'll give you £200 (not including delivery to Weston SC) |

The UK distributor for the Weta brought the demo boat to Alton Water last weekend, I had a go and was surprised how much fun it was - much lighter and more nimble than I'd expected. We sailed it two-up but all the controls are well positioned for solo sailing. It certainly is 'a bit different' but definitely a good laugh and very comfortable.

. Have you considered boats like the Challenger Trimaran? No hiking or trapezing involved, just sitting down in your comfy chair
