Have a look at this concept modification to the 505 to make the boat simpler, cheaper, and possibly faster, while also being easier to sail. Take a look at it and keep an open mind before you comment.

Thanks to Graeme and Rob for letting us know.
Add your comments to the forum and lets get some discussion going. Pity there's no-one at Hamilton Island to contribute to the discussion!

Hi Warwick,

I don’t know if you guys have seen this. Quite interesting idea. Should be posted on the site I think!!

not sure i agree with this. If they do go this route, it should be a bigger kite. it looks a bit like an rs400 with a trapeze in these pics.
