Ya. I posted about it earlier and heard crickets chirping in my thread

I'm not a big fan of the whole front boom tube mounted on antenna stalks arrangement and its even more peculiar on this than normal because the booms are spaced so far apart that they could have easily run the tube through the front of the tub and still have less overhang between the boom and front of the sponsons than many riggers.

The sponsons look a lot like those on a couple of very good wooden riggers that I know and the Lindenau Executive, which in my opinion is the best glass hydro1 rigger available so it should work very well, and having heard of recent troubles getting hold of Stephan Lindenau, having H&M make a more available alternative cant be a bad thing.

I cant wait to see them racing next year and find out how competitive they are with the Lindenaus, its not as minimalist a design as either Executive so its probably a little heavier but everything is packed in so tight in executives that they look like a bit of a pain to work on and if the performance is similar I can see this one winning over many fans.
