Sailing Boat Dutch Design RADIUS 4.7 1996 with high quality trailer

and separate beach trailer. (that fits on the road trailer)



Australian Skiff design - Very fast and exciting 1 - 2 persons

sailing dinghy - is made to plane.

- Carbon fibre hull (weight is only 50 kg) length 470 cm.

- Carbon Fibre mast (weight of a surf mast)

- Mylar mainsail 9.2 Sq metres, fully battened. (like a surf sail)

- Dacron jib as option for extra speed 1.3 sq. metres

- traveller over full width of the hull (gives good mast shaping

possibilities)

- all ropes controllable from cockpit

- handy storage area under 'R; sign that will stay dry.

- Easy to set up alone because everything is ultra light.

Comes complete with all ropes and sails. Does not have the

disadvantages of a laser. (pivoting instead of vertical rudder and

daggerboard, no problem with water on the cockpit because of skiff

design, no mainsail rope (forgot English name) that spins around the

rudder joystick when tacking, extensive trimming possibilities)



Mast is carbon fibre in surf mast style, the stays are fitted to the

mast at the same height as the boom, so that the rest of mast is

flexible and can be shaped like a surf mast. The whole thing is a

hybrid between a surf board and a fast dinghy, it is surely faster

then a Laser.



The road trailer is a very good galvanized suspended trailer with

lights and everything, and capable of doing 140km/hour without

vibrating or anything.



Ideal weight is between 65 kg and 125 kg, weight depending on wind

and choice of sales. Is easy to sale alone, but is lots of fun with

two persons, especially with a bit of wind. (force 4 or more) Maximum

weight I sailed it was more then 160 kg and still planing!



MTL 1500 including trailer etc.
