Gel-Tek Flyer MK II: Glenn’s boat

by Editor · Published January 7, 2009 · Updated June 24, 2020

Best looking A-Class in my view, with the right volume, protected front stays fittings and canted boards, equiped with an AsbhySails main she sails good enough to keep Glenn´s racing ryhtm as we are seeing at A-class Worlds being Held in Australia right now (today is lay day)

Gel-Tek Double Kevlar Hulls
Clear painted carbon fibre beams
Fitted Fiberfoam mast
Fitted alloy boom
Standard rigging

Trampoline with rotation marks

Mast rotation to the deck
