I get no thrill from the PDRacer either except my need for a spraying platform. And since I already have leeboard, rudder, mast and sails I could have something else to play with. I am looking at the D4/D5 which could still be a platform for my needs. But here is what gets me excited as a strip builder. The Moth class sailboat.
