29er X

"We have been experimenting with the 29er by building a slightly bigger rig, thrown in a mast head assymetrical spinnaker and an extra trapeze for the skipper. 
The reason for developing the New 29erX is to create a managable stepping stone between the 29er and 49er, as well as hopefully creating a New girls double handed High Performance class. 
From a performance side of things the New 29erx has impressed everyone who has sailed on it."
