| Stability? I would have thought that when a thing like that heels it would dig in a float and go arse over t*t pitching the unfortunate operator in bobble hat first! I think it should be painted red and called lobster. |

Crude attempt at self deprecating humour tick, I love to see ahem 'eccentrics' going their own way, can't think why. ------------- https://www.corekite.co.uk/snow-accessories-11-c.asp" rel="nofollow - Snow Equipment Deals https://www.corekite.co.uk" rel="nofollow - New Core Kite website |

It appears to me to be designed for people with disablies & the reason the floats don't go very far back might be for wheelchair access. ------------- Phantom 1181 AC-227 IC 304 blaze / halo 586 |

I think the poster may have been taking the mick. I agree with Bert, I think it's someone's attempt at bettering the Challenger trimaran. Iiitick is right, the floats are too far forward and too short, but the gnav looks like an improvement. ------------- the same, but different... |

The Challenger could do with an update, but if they're looking at disabled sailor then going to need something more stable than those floats ------------- Laser 72317, Fireball 14278, EPS 287 http://www.notboats.com |
