apart from the sailing school i work at i only know 1 person who has bought 1,the sailing school, liked the idea of a plastic aysemetric trappeze boat 4 teaching trapeezing and asymetric sailing, it all sounds good on paper, but not on the water.

Sorry - obvious fabrication...

HELMS DON"T RUN!!! (And if you see some of them trying it please shoot them at once, we can't let these bad habits start creeping in to our gentlemans sport!)
