That really is a dinghy with a lid. Looks quite tippy even in those light conditions. Fine if that is what you want. I prefer to be able to go below and put the kettle on rather than hanging over the side all the time.

I spent a pleasurable few hours watching people cruise Scamps and Wight Potters on youtube.

It was a fair while before I realized the real lesson of the video was to cruise in places with no tides, sunshine and clear water.

Perfect boat here then. Dinghy with a lid that doesn’t heel, and won’t spill your coffee.
Tested: Astus 22.5

I bet I could make it heel.

Any boat of that size that didn't benefit from attention to crew position would have to be unutterably slow heavy and boring. The TS16 , being designed by an antipodean is of course relatively light, well supplied with sail area and therefore interesting to sail

I bet your trousers go brown first.

It looks like a lot of fun, but I guarantee that it will absolutely spill your coffee when a stinkpot goes by too close

It’s sometimes necessary to take the wash on an aft quarter if ladies are in the powder room.
