Jake, were you on the turbo rig model of the R33? Taller mast and I think wider beam?

Glad to hear the high-mount beam has its uses. On the lip issue, I took a close look at the main stay anchor...out of concern they may have also done the old TheMightyHobie18 thing with a flange under the lip serving as anchorage for the stay. I was relieved to see the boat had a proper chainplate bedded into the hull surface with the shroud just passing through the lip.

The price of the boat seems high for what it is, don't you think? It's close to the smaller Farrier/Corsair Tris...which are better all-rounders, good to race and good to cruise with.

Mike.
