Another big boys Laser sail

Was surfing the web and came across the Intensity Sails website. These guys seem to have come up with another take on the Rooster 8.1 concept, ie a bigger Laser sail aimed at the larger sailor called the Intensity Power Head. http://www.intensitysails.com/insapohesafo.html
Anyone had any experience of this?   Only 200USD so cheap as chips, but can't find anything about them other than the Intensity website.  So I guess there won't be a PY, but I'm half tempted to try one just for some blasting.

	It looks nice but not sure how well a square top will work on a scaffold mast like the Laser. There are a few sailmakers floating around here though. The advantage of this is that it sits on the standard spars whereas the 8.1 needs either an extender or a longer bottom section.
