This was a high performance all-purpose dinghy designed by Paul Elvstrom and built by his company; not very many here in the US (in fact I'm a little surprised there's any). It was capable of being rigged as a cat for single handing or a sloop for two; intended to be an international & Olympic class for the truest possible one-design competition. It was a pretty nice boat but IMHO never really matched the 470 for 2 or the Contender for 1. http://uk.geocities.com/dinghydata/D...ses/Trapez.htm Fresh Breezes- Doug King |

Thanks DSK,
It's teh exact same boat. So it seems to be a little old and in a class of its own. Txs for the help. DSK wrote: wrote: I am looking for some more info or a spec of the following racing dinghy.
