No it's not the way I want to go. It's you that have made assumptions based on misreading posts.  I never said the D1 was fast.  Your opinion is devoid of fact so not valid. Perhaps you should know when to stop digging when you are in a hole!  I have sailed much faster boats than the Musto. Doesn't mean I start posting how bad the concept is! You have posted else where that you won't be coming to the FOM regatta as its too small for your Musto.  The d1 still got around and prob faster than you could in the Musto! It's absolutely horses for courses. The concept of single handed hiking assy is a sound one just look how quickly the 100 and d1 fleets have grown in recent years. That is solely because it suits people's needs better than trapeze boats they don't buy the to be the fastst boat on the water. Because they are not.

Shall we leave it there now or are you going to shoot off on another angle to try and make yourself look clever??

Have you spent all afternoon looking through my old posts to try and find something interesting - have you nothing better to do or are you trying to make yourself look clever?

Having sailing my Musto enough at a small enough venue i'm not interested in sailing it at the FOM as its supposed to be a fun regatta and i don't find that kind of location fun in that boat; seems simple enough to me.

How quickly have the fleets have grown?  As an outsider they both apparently seem to be selling boats but the turn outs at UK events don't appear to be anything to shout about.

I am not going to shoot off anywhere trying to clever, i don't feel the need to get one up on someone on and internet forum
