battelliere

I bought an RS Aero for exactly that. Fast, beautiful, easy to handle both in water and on dry. With three rig options, you can cover a wide range of wind speeds. It’s a beast, but a friendly one. No back pain!

of course we do: https://www.rsaerosailing.org/docs/574812685(1).pdf

Not unlikely, but would be very unfortunate for youth sailing - clubs would have to support both classes. Who could afford that? I hope you're wrong... Also, I read the performance review in the sense that testers like the laser because they are so familiar with it... it's not the speed they're talking about. With my Aero, I sail around Lasers in circles, and that's definitely not due to my sailing skills.

It sells for 32k€ - half the price of a J/70... this will be interesting!
