Bladerider
Finally I’ve seen a few photos of the Bladerider sailing at the
recent Worlds in Denmark.
Although I wasn’t there to see if myself, KA held an invitational
promo event to show their boat to the assembled Mothies.
Hopefully one of the boats will be in Australia soon so I can see
and sail one first hand.
I’ve been scoping out reactions to the idea from a bunch of sailors
and builders… or course Rohan, Linton @ Full Force in the
UK, as well as (prior to being) new World Champ Simon Payne and now
Thorpey in Sydney, among
others. Interesting to hear everyones differing views.
It will be very interesting to see how things progress now that
Rohan has sold his Fastacraft, and presumably is no longer
sponsored by them.
Also interesting interview quote by 49er World Champion Chris Draper…
“What is the most amazing thing
you have ever seen on a boat?
The foiling moths. There are not
many things about our sport that will make Jo public stand up in
amazement but they certainly do.”
Interesting interesting interesting…
Update… rumour has it that Luka and Robo have already voted
and ordered new Prowlers.
