odious bearing problems of the trailer-sailer fraternity are

On the beach trolley she looks and feels more like
a beach cat than trailer-sailer. At just over 7m the
rotating mast can be raised by one person without any
of the complications of block and tackle or winches.With the boat unfolded there is a tennis court like
feel which is not what you are expecting on a 16-footer.
The self-draining cockpit is long and gives the boat an
uncluttered aspect; it also gives the luxury of a footwell so
that a variety of seating combinations can be utilised. The
dagger board fits into its case in the forward sections of
the cockpit. It is unobtrusive and efficient.
On the sugar-scoop stern there is a bracket for an
outboard, and given the easily-driven hull, a simple 2hp
would do the job. The traveller sits atop the aft beam and
is complemented by a powerful Ronstan 6:1 Mainsheet.At 210kg she is
light and compact
and the sort of
thing you forget
