So why would somebody want to import a boat when the local version seems to not only cheaper (less import duties) but also it's lighter and therefor more desirable. Is there some point that I'm missing?

Also is the newer version easier to right with the f18 mast? thanks cool

2. Hulls canted 4 degrees.
3. Deck mould/inserts most likely off the Inter 18.
4. Mast straight off the Infusion.... Yes the rig is obviously different....

In all other respects the hulls are identical! They have thrown the new boards and rudders on the boat... Again, probably to avoid "manufacturing copyright"....

The rumour that the rocker was changed was probably started by a vested interest in the O/S arena to dick Roscoe out of hard earned $$$...?

Yes, I support Roscoe, but i'm also a realist... smile

Have a nice day, I'm going sailing!!!
Cheers,
HooHooHoo
