Too my surprise, most who I have talked to so far have elected to go after the stayed rig because it will allow trapezing


I think this is extremely important feedback from your market. It would be interesting to know the ages of the kids you're getting these comments from, RG. It seems that most here have been fairly resistant to the trapeze idea, but I believe that clearly differentiating your product in the market is an important element of success. It's one thing to say "it has two hulls, two hulls are faster, you'll like it", but another for kids to actually see that there's something quite different and exciting about the experience of sailing this baby from their buddy's monohull. I understand the argument in favor of the unstayed mast, but I don't think you should ignore this issue.
