never sailed one but u can pick up an old 14 for about £2000 same price as a second hand boss and that will have all the stuff that a new carbon boss will have on it.

I guess the interesting question is; what is the hull weight, or the all up sailing weight. Last time I helped drag one up the beach it felt pretty substantial ... Rick |

According to the Y&Y racing classes guide, the hull weight for the boss is 85kg. Although im not too sure how reliable the numbers are considering it says the mirror's main size is about the same size as a musto skiff main.....hhmmmm |
