Looks like another fatboy special.

Nothing wrong with it, it look beautiful. The build quality looks good, nomex, carbon, and the square beams are nice. The foils are very skinny, its all good. I want one.

What I was refering too, was that it seems to have more freeboard than the A2 or XJ hulls, and its more like the DK17 which was specifically designed for a 200lb+ sailor.

"Fatboy special" is a endearing term for those of us that only prefer salads if they on top of a burger, tend to order the whole left side of the breakfast menu and dont skip dessert. As in "I'll think I'll have the fatboy special."

All this talk about A class boats is making me jumpy. They sure do look sweet and I am sure they are fun as anything. Their low weight makes them really attractive to me (esp compared to my tank)
As was discussed in prev threads.. too expensive right now.

There are some nice wooden boats around at 200lbs, guy in Michigan said putting a carbon mast on his boat would bring it down to 180 lb.s. He was asking $2700 or there abouts.
