One of the beauty parts of this boat is that is shines as a high performance multihull for little people. It is the fastest boat that I know of that could be single handed by one person weighing more than say, 90 lbs, even without a trapeze, especially if he/she didn’t fly the reacher. My guess is that 145 lbs will be near optimum racing weight for an adult single hander using all three sails, even in heavy air. Since I weigh 145 lbs. that probably explains part of my optimism for the boat. But more altruistically, I have always believed that if we are to rebuild the sport of sailing, including multi-hull sailing, we are going to have to start with young people, and by young I don’t mean 20 somethings. I started racing when I was 12 and many from my club racing cohort started in prams when they were 8 years old. I could see my kids in a Weta when they get to be that age.
