@Martin: The building link only shows one page, is that all there is?

The Windstar was Robbe's attempt to pruduce a competative IOM, but as so often, the marketing people had a say in it and the boat was rather 'downgraded' to keep the price as low as possible...

When just introduced, the boat had to be tweeked quite a lot by the pilots to be competative and she did well for a while.

The last ten years there has been no Windstar in any (European) IOM regatta, as far as I know, the newer designs are so much quicker, she simply can't keep up.

It's a very nice beginners boat, once you've tasted blood, you'll want more!
