I sail an MX-Ray (a single-handler skiff), and I am looking for specs on the stealth.

The specs for the MX-Ray:
LOA 3.94m
BMAX 1.52m
Hull weight: 52Kg (fully rigged)
Main Sail: 7.8 m2
Asym Spin: 7.25m2

Can anyone guess how the stealth compares to these specs? If you want to see the promo video of the MX-Ray, check out http://www.sandiegoboating.com/mx%20ray%20videos.htm

I would hope that sailing the Stealth would be just as much fun (hopefully more -- assuming it has more sail area...)

Dreaming of a new skiff...

Wow! The stealth must be a blast sailing downwind with the kite up! It should be fun even in light winds...

Here is a quick video showing an R-Class 2-handed skiff screaming downwind. Ah! The stuff that dreams are made of... http://www.rclass.org/video/movies/Stagecoach2.mov

I wish I had videos of me pitchpoling with the kite up!
