I have asked anyone if they have pictures of Ben's new boat, but have not seen one yet. I will be going to Bristol next week and if the boat is there, I will take pics and post them. I do not think that the 2 boats have met yet, but they will at least meet at the Worlds if not sooner. There are also at least 2 more new A's in the works. Marstrom has one coming out soon, I have heard that at least the prototype is on the water. Martin fischer also has a new A in the pipeline. So it will be interesting in the near future to see which designs come to the front of the fleet. With all of this going on, it is best to state now the the rig and sails are probably as important as the design itself.
