I take my hat off to anyone that can sail that without getting seasick.

It looked quite good until one sees a couple of guys pick it up and launch it.
I really can't see the fascination on really tiny boats. I know that costs increase with the displacement, but going from 2.30mt to 5.0 is realy not that more expensive and just leaves this thing looking odd. As an exercise in making it work. OK, but I wonder how often it gets out?
Just looked a bit more, not a one off..... Very well fitted out, but again, would be so much better if a bit longer.

I doubt this is a cheap boat.

Agree. The standard of fit out is good, like a performance dinghy. While I can see the appeal of racing mini 12s, I can't quite get it with this scaled down 20 some footer. At first I thought that one could kip in the miniscule cabin (claustraphobia nonwithstanding..) but not a chance at under 8ft LOA and the 'big' rear cockpit floor.
I hope the builders have other boats to make some money...

Agreed, if you want a pocket cruiser you could to a lot worse than a Leisure 17 (I am biased because I sail one) and it is a lot more comfortable to sail than that.

Managed to dig out their site after several miss directions (Waiting for the chef to deliver..) Seems they aim to develope a racing fleet with possibilites of helping disabled, but no mention of price. That may be available if you actually contact them.

The Poles are a bit mad when it comes to sailing. I suppose it's the Conrad thing. I have done this trip in the other ditection and it was nice to see Kolobrzeg and Nexo that we have visited several times, though Kolobrzeg didn't have the posh marina until recently. Kolobrzeg is an interesting place with quite a lot to see and do. Nexo is smaller and less obviously attractive than other parts of Bornholm but it is a useful stop and friendly. I believe that it was involved with some unpleasant action up to a week after the end of the last war and a number of locals were killed, from what I remember from the museum.
