Incredible number, all things considered, and seemingly bucking the trend.
We’ll be doing a survey of all entrants, but as we know, perception is everything, so why do you think the Class is having such a revival? https://www.yachtsandyachting.com/news/238541/UK-Europe-Nationals-at-the-WPNSA-preview Edited by Bootscooter - 15 Jun 21 at 8:32am |

Maybe because it is a dedicated lightweights singlehander? Affordable entry level if you can track down a secondhand boat. The two obvious lightweights alternatives are detuned versions of the optimal rigged boats? WPSNA is a top rate venue that is worth the journey? They have an energetic CA? We (Solos) shared an event there with them a few years back, it looked like they were having a great time.

It must be the CA: its always the CA!
I suspect it doesn't do any harm that its not a first choice as a youth class either. It seems to me that really strong youth classes tend to lose adult participation at major championships. Edited by JimC - 15 Jun 21 at 9:10am |

Perhaps because it’s a nice little boat, it has enough options to be able to tune the rig to the sailor so it’s not a plonk the mast in and go and let’s be honest there’s a lot of two man teams that couldnt sail together for such a long time I think you’ll see some great single handed entries this year.

While it does massively suit the slighter sailor, there’s a few of us racing (and doing well) at 80kg+👍🏽 |
