Reason - was too heavy, no dagger boards and was not very cost effective.


Do you know this as fact or just flappin' your mouth? The boat was good, points fine without boards, and only one or two were made. However, the Blade sailplan did not work on the platform and the boat was rushed to regattas before balanced. The boat is (was) for sale. If you want specifics, ask Hans. He'd be glad to tell you everything. Matt might add to the story since he built the hulls.

So, since you seem to know enough about it to make disparaging comments, what does the boat weigh and what would one cost new?
