Is that the same boat that was on facebook a couple of days back at the dusseldorf boot show, it looks remarkably similar..

Dream boats however change, what I wanted from a boat in the v twin days aint what I want now, I'm over all that, I'm a wood botherer now, off to a CVDRA event next year maybe in my new development class, in fact I'm working on a gybing plate right now..

Just goes to show what age and decrepitude can do to a man..

Not much on that site to be fair and the test sail video only shows 2-3 seconds of actual sailing.

The 'production' one will have a double deck (I guess double floor) and be self draining. Curious to know where they will stow the kite too unless it will be a bag kite.....

The ToY got Lasered, really. More hassle, for not enough benefit. That, and Tony Allen has been quoted as saying he didn't have time to look after the boat, being too busy making fittings. The TT does look pretty similar. Trouble is, it doesn't looked totally thought through as a finished product.

I believe so. Has some strange features, looking at that pic.
