A Fantastic lightweight boat

I own a proto-type of the Saint. It is an absolutely brilliant little playboat. As the 'Hype' says it has a suprisingly fast hull. It is also incredibly loose on the wave making all sorts of moves possible. The lightweight, but strong, composite comstuction makes it very easy to get huge bounces, opening the way for the full spectrum of aerial moves (If only I was personally capable of half of them!). The volume distribution at the front of the boat gives a superb amount of 'pop' for loops etc, again aided by the lightweight constuction.

As I mentioned I have a proto-type and by the looks of it the final version should be even sweeter.

The guys at Shaggy designs are top top blokes and are very accomodating to individual's needs.

Composite boats have to be the way of the future for high performance playboats as the difference that being in a boat that is so light has to be experienced to be believed!
