	A concept 302? If so I know I desperately wanted one when I was looking at toppers, which would be 11 years ago now! I think the main attraction was the mini assymetric :)

	No I suspect this is a totally different animal. The manufacturers were based in Christchurch. It has a small jib and no assymetric. Aly mast is round with a track/groove riveted on.

	I saw the one on ebay a little while back, but I'm afraid the trawling for info at the time came up with nothing, so whether she was a prototype that came to nothing, I know not. If you find anything, let us know, please!
