Shoom hi, Im in SA, Im not sure about the hulls, I bought the boat used and dont know if theres any way to tell? Im very new to all this, Ive never sailed before and have now been out 3 times in the tiger, great fun. I didnt even know how to put the mast up or rig the sail a few days ago. Im trying to get some friends to buy a tiger as well so we can race each other, they seem to go pretty cheap. They are put off because they think its a racing boat and they wont be able to handle it, I thought it was more a learners boat that also gets raced....
