I think Russ is going for the grey one too.



Im going Grey as is the other at my sailing club.  Thinking about some sexy wrap or clever sign-writingfor it though.... Oh and obviously we will have to reintroduce Pimp Club!

Shallow person that I am, still worried about colour but edging to white after the photos?

Looks good.

 One question. At about 1.50 or so when dan is reaching, it appears that the mast is moving laterally, or at least it does to me. Does this mean that the foot is loose and if so does this have an affect on pointing at all?
Everything I say is my opinion, honest

If you think that is movement, think how much space there is around a laser mast! The deck level fitting is almost identical (if not identical) to a d-one. Its not tight tight, but I would guess has a 2-3mm movement max. I sailed it in the light today and there was no sense of a mast wobble of any kind.

So here's a question if you sailed it in the light against yourself in a Supernova which boat would win?

Hi Simon
you should have stayed about 3pm nice breeze came in.
It meant we all ended up staying a bit later than expected.
Thanks to Rodney, Sue and Adrian(Dont let Rodney rig anything its always wrong) and the visitors who came and enjoyed a lovely day, shame the breeze was a bit late in getting to us.
Hopefully Rodney has some good footage on the go pro.

FWIW- I think that would very much depend on the age and mark of the Supernova.  The new ones are demons in light winds, the old ones, erm, not so much.

In my defence I was just a little tired and my mind was somewhat distracted over the weekend. Rest assured that all will be good for the future roadshows!
