W17 trampoline therapy

…Mike has tried to help me in every way…if all new builders get that level of help you can bet your butt you are getting a bloody good boat.

—Chris, Queensland

The W17 is a very comfortable & safe boat to cruise in. At no time did I feel unsure of the boat & it never felt like capsizing. Highly stable boat. (After 2 x 200nm trips).

—Delivery skipper, Philippines

My summer Miata is not the fastest car, but their handling is excellent. But most of all they are really fun to drive & they put a smile on your face each time you take a ride. Well, this boat seems the same. It’s really a joy to sail, and I sense an exciting journey with her is just beginning

—Jonathan, Michigan

Wow! I feel like a kid who has just received his dream balsa kit for his birthday. Can't wait to start making this 2D package into a 3D reality!

—JR, first W17 kit owner

Looks like this sleek boat with its asymmetrical amas and deep fine bow, should ride the waves with minimum disturbance and maximum dryness. Va être un superbe bateau!

—Alan, St-Jean-de-Luz, France

…rolled out the new race mainsail…an impressive experience High-aspect ratio, dynamic styling, and with a square top, it looked very high performance…

—Alan, St-Jean-de-Luz, France

Our first impressions are that it's very stable, feels very strong and has great upwind performance.

—Louis & Luigi, Philippines

I was so impressed I promised to build one myself after I finish my home. Seeing is believing and the W17 is impressive. What a great design!

—David, Philippines

…I'm very impressed with the seaworthiness of this little boat. I have been in places I clearly should not have been, and in some very bad weather too…

—Andrew, Philippines

" ... the W17 feels like it's flying through the water and air, unlike any other sailboat I've ever been on .... as it slips over the water with such agility and efficiency
