Which specific bits? The sail itself is like most symmetrics but the sheet arrangement is a bit odd. PM and I'll try to help.

our club was given a relatively new mirror to use for training after holding the nationals at our club this year. they look really nice boats. i just personally wouldnt like to sail one as the look quite small. it does really well on handicap in light winds though.....

Actuakky the spinnaker is nearly as big as the main, (shouldn't be admitting that!) and is quite a handful in a blow... specially for young 'uns

The fibreglass ones do look very nice, i couldn't stand a wooden one tho. Most young 'uns around here go for the cadet tho, dunno why, horrible little things.

the young 'uns at our club tend to go: topper/mirror - 420 - skiff (of some
sort. and please nobody have go at me for saying skiff)
or in my case: topper - vortex was quite a big jump.
