Small, light, fast, and exciting. Not a beginner's boat. Relatively uncommon, therefore not many available for sale. Around 2000 boats have been built. Second-hand prices range from £400 to £6500 depending on age and equipment.
There are 10 or so boats in the club and a strong core which travels to Open meetings and the National Championships.
