Reply to: Advice for my new boat...

[quote=pewit]+1 for the Weta. I think you can launch from your beach too - I used to launch mine from a floating pontoon which was reached by a gantry only 2m (6'5") wide - and the Weta is 1.7m wide on the trolley. I'd put the boat together on the pontoon, tip it off and go for a sail - returning was more of an issue! Also the 2018 Weta is now a lightweight foam-core and on the class minimum weight of 120Kg (264 lbs) and is stiffer than the original. A the same time a new 9.3SqM Square Top Sail has been introduced and recut by Norths as a flatter bi-radial - compared with the 8.3SqM pin-head tri-radial original sail. The new sail gives improved performance in light winds and is useable in winds up to 25 knots.
