The Paper Tiger is a boat sailed in Australia and New Zealand, not sure of the numbers still sailing, we had a good large fleet in South Africa but it just died out in the 90`s. A great 14ft single-handed boat, you could build it in plywood easily, weighed nothing and went like stink, I remember watching the PT sailors surfing waves passing Hobie 16`s down massive waves offshore Durban (I was on one of the Hobies being passed.) They definitely plane downwind, and sail on the chines well upwind.
Had one for a while, but moved on when the class died.
What a great little boat.
