It appear as though the company that provides our Chat feature recently updated their software and now one of their modules is being 'mis-classified' by Norton/Symantec and possible containing a virus. Until they have this resolved we have de-activaed chat. We've opened a support incident with Envolve and they will hopefully have this corrected soon.

Pros:
Cons:

cat rigged, center board, 2 piece mast, 88sq ft sail, monohull
Very fast design, about the same size as a Laser, but with more sail area, and a very nice large cockpit for it's size.
Planes very easily, very responsive and excilerating sailing. It can handle up to 3 adults in the cockpit (although that's pushing it, we sail with 2 adults and 2 childeren and that is quite cramped).
Wet sailing, and a litle overpowered for my 135 lbs alone, it does better with 2 in heavier breezes.
Very satisfied, as long as it used for it's intended purposes.
I have never come accros another one, but they must be out there somewhere.

Pros:	fast, easy to rig
Cons:	Wet, cluttered cockpit, clew attachment.

Not surprising the Maryland reviewer from 1997 has not found another one. It was designed near and for the San Francisco Bay and its heavy chop. Hence the fairly high front deck and sharp, deep bow sections. The class never caught on, losing out to the simpler design of the Laser, I think. Parts are hard to come by. There is a class web page.
