"I was looking for a 'big' little sail boat. It had to have and do everything for almost everybody in my circle of family and friends. The only trouble was, I wasn't at all sure what such a boat would look like or if it was even possible. I looked at a wide variety of boats but for me all fell short in one way or another. I saw The Weta prototype at The Boat Show of 2003 and wasn't alone in recognizing a great concept well underway. It has been sailed alone with all sails up; two up and stacked out in skiff-like fashion hard on the wind; handled by one of the kids with just the boomless main or with the whole family on board ! We wanted a safe, stable, strong, easy to rig sail boat with good all round performance. One that was easy for everybody to sail. We got all that and more! Everything about it is effortless and responsive. Hard to believe that you can have all of this in a sail boat a little over 4 metres long! This is truly a 'Big' little sports sail boat that has everything and will do everything for almost everyone, whatever age or sailing ability. As such, I would recommend The Weta to anyone who likes or thinks they would like to get out on the water."
