I'm now the proud owner of a Supernova dinghy, one of the fastest non-trapeze single-hander dinghies. Except when sailed by me, apparently. Similar size and weight as a Laser, but with a fully battened mylar sail, I'm told it will go like a rocket in a decent breeze. There was almost no wind when I went out last time, so we'll see; that didn't stop me making a complete a**e of myself at launch, when I almost capsized right in front of the clubhouse as soon as I tried to climb in. V humiliating.
