Here is an interesting yacht to have a look at..........

Good find Brian.

It seems to confirm that the future of land sailing is heading more and more towards the portable "Mini Yacht" incorporating the latest materials technology.

As there are so many mini yachts emerging incorporating different approaches to the same broad concept, it bodes well for the rope loop class rule.

Having another look at the video the rear axles do flex quite a bit, Its actually nice to see a modernistic design that seems to work well. It actually makes the blokart construction and assembly complex (not that it is).
I would love to see a moulded glass / plastic yacht with a very modern design....
Maybe it would be a good project for design students to see what they could do.

Also the taller/larger person would put centre of gravity further back and head higher up changing balance quite sinificantly I would think. The advertised tyres look interesting.
