BoatBITE! 29er XX In The News

There are so many cool boats to sail but when I think about the Olympics, an event that does keep pace with innovative technology: the impact of telecommunications and electronics for scoring and broad-casting as one example...

The 29er XX seems a logical and smart choice. I've never sailed one (it's on the list, with the Moth, Open 60...) but when I watched the young sailors play about Buzzards Bay back in August...the boat encourages one to "aspire" towards something because it is eye-catching, fast, innovative and a snapshot of technology moving forward.

Buzzards Bay 2008: My own shot

If the guys can aspire to the 49er, why can't the gals have the 29er XX...
