Has anyone sailed a Foxer dinghy?

Any opinions? Build quality? Performance? Fun factor?

Look like fun for the less sprightly amongst us.

Several versions avaliable. I have sailed the one with a jib. Goes nicely fine for 1 or 2 people. Can be rowed or motored as well. I thought a good alround little dinghy that seemed to be pretty well made.

They race them in the Hamble - I happen to know the J24 European Champion for the last 4 years sails one there - maybe they're secretly the best training tool around - perhaps we'll see Ben Ainslie in one practising for the next America's Cup??

I was thinking about the rather bigger freeboard and capacity than Toppers etc. Look like fun.

For those, like me, who dunno what the fox he's talking about, there's more stuff here
