| Developments in the Supernova Class | |||||||||

On this page we'll aim to keep you up to date with the exciting changes that are happening with the Supernova dinghy. Last Updated 09/01/2010 A new sail for the Supernova There is going to be a new sail. This is the grey sail that some of you will have seen (and indeed tried). It is currently with Cotswolds SC for their Supernova fleet to try and possibly provide some feedback as the sail is not yet in production. The sail is made by Jeckells but will carry the Hartley Racing logo. The Hyde sail is to be dropped. There is more on this in this statement here from Hartleys - including some very attractive introductory offers. Some pictures of the new sail here. If you want to try the new sail and possibly take it back to your club to test it out, come along to the Winter Championships. A new deck layout for the Supernova As well as getting a new sail. The Supernova is to have a new deck layout. This re-design work is being done by Phil Morrison. The hull shape remains the same only the deck layout changes. The main change is that the stern will be open and the cockpit self draining. Gone will be the Anaglypta ® like deck. The side decks will be stronger and there will be deck mouldings to assist with the fitting out (i.e, the mast ramp will be moulded in). As soon as we have some drawings/pictures we'll publish them here. The intention is that one of these boats will be ready for the Dinghy Show in March. These changes are explained further here in this note from the Hartleys and once again there are some very attractive introductory offers. Pictures coming soon. |
