Looks like a descent boat. Anybody know how they managed to build it that HEAVY ?? Weighs more than a Dart 18.

Hey, if you were looking for a boat suitable for juniors to train on and get into spinnaker sailing, the Mosquito would fit the bill quite nicely. Of course it does have daggerboards, so it would be unsuitable for those who are too stupid to remember to lift them while beaching, but I wouldn`t trust anyone of that intelligence on a race course either.
Difference in specs between the two is quite interesting :

Sirena SL 16 Mosquito 16
Overall weight : 153 kg approx. 105kg
Hull length : 4.81 mtr 4.9 mtr
width ; 2.32 mtr 2.185 mtr
mast : 8 mtr (alu extrusion) 7.3 mtr
Main sail ara ; 12.5 sq. mtr. 12.45 sq. mtr
Jib area : 3.75 sq. mtr. 3.37 sq. mtr
spi area : 17 sq. mtr. 13 sq. mtr

Texel/ISAF ratings about 115 to 118 114

The Mozzie is built in epoxy foam sandwich or plywood (homebuilt option), and would sell for approx. 7500 US$, or 5800 Euro. excl. taxes & shipping. Epoxy boats are reinforced with carbon & kevlar in all the important places.

It has an older-style mainsail, not squaretop, but that could be changed easily, just have to fiddle the class rules a bit .
