Thanks - yes - a bit odd. Sort of a nordic Citroen DS. Actually had a go in one when they were launched in the mid 70's - seemed ok - great for a motor sailer - but that genoa is big. Nice though, & a bit different. Ho hum.

If it looks good, it probably is . . . .

I suspect the corollary is also true, hence the apparent "bargain".

Big genoa overlaps were popular for a while. I seem to remember a number of catamaran designs with tiny "mainsails" at the same period.

There is a yacht in Bristol harbour that take the large foresail one step further. The mast is set even further back and there is no Main!
