Some posters have mentioned the very real desire to have a trapeze. However, we must be really careful not to keep adding stuff as that will quickly make the boat both heavier and more complex and both of those make it more expensive as well.

We must also look at the power the rig is developping. At this time it is not really enough to pull a 50 kg sailor on the wire. We can make the rig bigger but then we quickly have to add both mainsheet purchase and stays. Both of which really do increase the loading on the component requiring them to become stronger. And then finally we end up with a 100 kg Hobie wave or Mystere 4.3 and that is neither car-toppable or easy to rig. At this time I'm sorry to say that we must make hard choices in order to get to our goal which many see to be, really simple, really light and really inexpensive but fast and fun to sail. The trapeze is difficult to justify on those grounds.

Hell, at this stage we should rather be taking away then add to the boat.
