The Flying Mantis has won “Dinghy of the Year”
https://www.britishyachtingawards.com/dinghy-of-the-year/
The British Yachting Awards review:
“The Flying Mantis – from British designer Jamie Stewart – offers foiling for mortals by creating form stability via two floats/extra hulls. This 14ft lightweight carbon trimaran can also be sailed with a regular rudder and daggerboards, depending on conditions, and can accommodate taller and heavier sailors up to 120kgs.
That the boat can be effectively sailed in a non-foiling configuration sets it apart from other new foiling classes. This then, should provide encouragement to those that want a high performance singlehander but who are nervous that taking the plunge and buying a foiler could be money thrown at a boat they might never master.”
The winner will be announced on Tuesday 11th December at the Royal Thames Yacht Club, London and the results will be published in Yachts & Yachting and Sailing Today magazines.

Won’t lie I was a little nervous going out in the 20 knots+ Pelar, however after five minutes the nerves were all gone and it could have been 15 knots and flat water from the way the boat handled. - Aaron Smith, Chief Instructor Lake Garda, Andrew Simpson Watersports Centre.
