its a 29er with a bigger rig all round, and from what i read it has racks that are fitted into the boat, or i think they were experimenting with the racks. It is aimed as a twin string womens skiff

I believe that Menorca has one on order for the 2006 season.  So for all those who want to have a go.....

And the bigger rig is all carbon too.

Racks are only wheelie bars going out the back not making it wider

It is quite simply the existing 29er hull to which you add new mast & sails and off you go. Looks a lot of fun - I want a go!

Basically a 59er rig with twin wires on, stuck on a 29er hull. May be making an appearance at the tiger trophy this weekend.

It isn't just a 59er rig. The 59er mast won't take twin wires and when I spoke to Bethwaites about putting the trap on the 59er they were saying that it was different.
