As a footnote after seeing the boat...

This one is bit world weary.

But!

1. The design's got great proportions. This one is light.
2. The Dotan rudder system is fantastic (although replacement parts could be a problem).
3. The mast is so easy it's ridiculous.

My conclusion is that this is THE design for a solo performance boat or an entry level solo performance boat. But I'm back to my Hobie with the telephone pole for a mast, ready to give me a new hernia when I move it around on the beach wheels...

Thanks again
