    I want one!!! :D
    I just saw it on a boatshow and immediately had this feeling of WANTING, CRAVING and what a price! under $ 20.000 USD incl. trailer and sails!

    I just wish I could afford to have two boats, one for family crusing/racing and one for all out racing!

    It's a boat designed by Finot and designed to the open 60 box rule but scaled down somewhat :)

    Open 5.70 website
    Finot's webpage about the Open 570

    Tell me what you think!
    Me, I just want one...........

    Erik

    [Edit: I just realized that it has been on the Finot website for a while, and I missed it.]

    Yep - just whip that funny stick thingy from off the top, that lump of make-me-go-slower lead off the bottom, strap on a couple of big outboards and you'd have a REAL sportsboat !!:D :D

    Nice 3d drawings on that site, and it looks even better in the final construction photos.

    I was going to post a pic of a 7.5m 24'6" sports boat off my own drawing board but it did not seem to work. Any Help?

    What problem did you enounter? Did you get an error of some kind, or did it simply not show up? Was it a .gif or .jpg image? Try again and it should work, or I'll see if I can help.

    The boat was on the Selon Nautique in Paris this December. It was really nice looking and the price still just below 20.000 USD.

    I have som close up photos if of any interest
