I bought one of these last week and as soon as the wind picked up slightly it flipped on it's side and i watched and waited while the wind blew it about for 3 hours before i could get it back. You can see the one on the videodo the same at 0.23 then it stops and just flaps about. They need to redesign the keel, for £100 i expect a lot better performance. I took it back to the shop. As it is i wouldn't pay £10 for it!!!!!!
These can be deceiving because it looks like they sail well but any wind over 5knts will flip this boat, maybe if more blast on the keel is added it could work better. I would go with the nirvana 2 which is only $50 more.

Crap, pure CRAP! Nothing more than a good reason to not buy it! Thanks!

Add more ballast, but not in the hull--epoxy lead weight to the bottom of the bulb.
