I have raced against a father son combo floating and thought it was a terrific boat, sure they were left behind because of weight but what a way to spend your day with your young kid. I know the young female sailor that came 5th in the raid recently was on the 15 last year. For me I think it would be a great single hander as I get older because I am about the right weight on my own and can have different foils for different conditions, so I see a club market for the boats as they are superseded by the new models
