"Beta Tester"?? comes to mind.

Well, I'm probably going to end up picking one up. Not quite yet as all the ponds here in CO are frozen right now. I couldn't stand having it and not being able to sail.

I will look forward to your report once you get one in your hands!

Im considering this boat for my second sail boat. But Id love the feedback of more experienced individuals before I take the plunge. (im a chicken) LoL

So far, you know what we know, which is about what you've read here. Wish I had more information.

No wonder the boat is so heavy, the manual is 85mb!

Well, ive got two planes to buy before my second boat becomes an option.
So i guess ive got a while before i take the plunge.

well.... I just ordered one from tower with a $40 off promotional discount and free shipping, so I thought that was a pretty good deal, the free shipping they offer though takes a couple weeks usually, but when it does arrive I'll post some pics here for you guys.

also, yea... that manual was a pretty big download but it's nice to see what your getting, glad I did see it cause it looks like the servo arm will not work, looks like you need a winch servo type, hull is to narrow for the arm.

till then....

page 10 and 13 in manual. Also.... a question.... what is "Volans" other then a constillation, I have googled this and have not found anything on this pertaining a sailing sponsor/racing team???

dont agree with your comment about thunder tigers sail boats , ive an older mrp version of australia 2 with its winged keel which i enjoy sailing ! ive a mate who sails a micro magic with me whos currently tempted to buy one of these tris .

I agree with triumphjon,
I love my Voyager, Voyager with Chuck Black sails.

I just ordered one tonight from Tower. I only have one other boat, TT ETNZ haha
Ive been happy with it, just needs some work to get it where it can handle the wind.


Oh if you want the ETNZ to sail properly you got to get some better sails.
