Yes, Paper Tigers everywhere over here, but too big for junior IMO (assuming where chasing the youngest of sailors) Although it has approval I think for junior development over here for things like Vicsail (turning juniors to champs).
The Impara Cadet looks like a small version of the mossie, more modern than the Arafura, however the Arafura is still fairly popular I think, but I've only ever seen 3 Imparas.
I'm not sure that the collapsible mast/unstayed rig would be my thinking, but I'm not designing it either. And I believe trapeze is a must have, if this boat could comparable to the hobie 16 or any bigger cat for that matter, I can't see how you could be in the ball park hiking, lets face it, I love and have always loved the wire.
Just my 2 cents
