Grinna 2 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I believe we're referred to as "gravitationally challenged". Link to post Share on other sites
RushMan 31 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Explorer doesn't like the home page at the moment but I found it eventually How does it compare with other cat rigged boats on the market ? Sail Area ? Weight ? Is there a trapeze and gennaker option ? Cost ? Looks pretty good for fat buggers like myself, although the top rudder mount will get in the way when climbing in over the transom. Link to post Share on other sites
SloopJohnB 323 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Not for fat buggers Optimal Weight 70kg I presume that is crew weight. Same for PT crew weight 70 - 78kg and knot 90 kgs like someone I know. Link to post Share on other sites

Clipper 358 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Over rated expensive dog Based on what? Link to post Share on other sites
203 0 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 it looks like a quick design downwind... but i think you might need abit extra weight to sail it in a breeze.... As for a over rated expesive dog? maybe expensive, but i dont think its over rated. Id for sure want to test sail one Link to post Share on other sites

203 0 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 same here... I can see it being expensive, but also in-expensive for the sort of boat that you would be getting Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Add a kite and it looks like this... http://www.rssailing.com/en/explore/rs100 no it is light years ahead in materials and technology, and weight. C-tech is doing the rig & the sail design comes from the "FX" sail designers afaik there is no price so nzrat is guessing & incorrect, no experience & no sailing, Proto in mould now Link to post Share on other sites
