My one was solid glass and was VERY heavy compared to the foam glass ones that were measured at the same time. Around 150-200KG difference which was 15-20%

I think the foam glass was also a lot stiffer.

It would be a great buy for that price!

having a dacron main may mean it still has the standard?, 'safer for cruising', pinhead mainsail

 

instead of the, 'must have 1 hull out to race', fat-head mains of the race boats

 

certainly great value!

What's wrong with the main?

Cheers all :-)

Does she still count as an 8.5?  I mean, she's put on a wee bit of... length ;-)

The main is... tired, dacron, pin top.  I'd like something a little better.  

But the first thing (once I've done the next SSANZ and I get back from Fiji) will be anti-foul, followed by replacing the forward beam, add some nav lights (I like sailing at night) and start replacing cordage, the traveller is looking a bit scary in one place... almost as bad as Sundreamers :-D

The tramps are top-notch, the boards are awesome, the OB is good. The #2 and the gennaker are excellent.  I'm happy.
