That's the razor. Phil even posted pics of its construction, we've know about this boat for a while. Nice to see it in the water...

Sort of related to this thread........
Was the Stealth almost a decade ahead of its time? Looking at the most 'recent developments in hull design' AKA Narcra F20 Carbon and DNA 'A'Class you could be forgiven for thinking that you were looking at photographs of a Stealth hull. All of them are very flat from the CB case to the transome. I can't upload photo's from the DNA blog so you can find them yourselves; http://dnacat.blogspot.com (scroll down for hull photo sections).
So perhaps with a slightly different sail plan you could have the "cheapest" uber F16 off the peg with ALOT of carbon as standard.
This photo is of the F20 and not to be mistaken for a stealth's transome.

I'm not sure Mark. The Stealth has a constant curve from front to back whereas the new boats seems to have a two part rocker with two almost straight lines joined by an angle in close proximity of the daggerboard case.

... we've know about this boat for a while. ...


I know, wanna guess how long I've known about it ?

That is not the scoop, the scoop is the fact that it is sailing and that it was photographed doing so.

What was the rule again ?

"Pictures, or it didn't happen"

In my book ; it ain't a boat still it has made its maiden voyage.

OK Agreed, I was thinking more about the cross section through the hull and not the longitudinal section. Maybe give them another 10 years to catch up smile

Gilo,
That is not the boats sail number. The sail was changed when the new sail arrived later in the day. If choosing numbers I'd rather a sail number like 007.

Regards,
Phill
