  GO vs TECHNO 293

  Publicerad av anonym-anvandare på 12 januari, 2000 vid 21:12

  Dear All.
  We are back from a show tour in Europe, including the Barcelona boat show,
  the Paris Boat show and the Tushingham/Starboard dealers meetings in London
  and Leeds.
  As for news from the shows, besides the Formula and the Fish we would need
  to mention the new Bic Techno at 292cm x 79 cm -205 liters.
  The board has twin fins to be able to sail in shallow waters.
  We have tried this concept several times last year with the GO , and it is
  not right. the new GO 33 cm from Drake/ Hesselgrave is a far easier and
  better performing solution. The people from Bic did however admit that they
  had tried to adopt our new GO fin in the Techno after seeing it in Orlando,
  but did not succeed with the right foil shape…

  The Techno looks good and its great that Bic now also starts to promote the
  Ultra wide concept. This will not only help the sport , but also grow our
  sales on the GO board.

  The GO is still in a class of its own compared to the Bic, and following are
  the arguments:

  The GO at 280 x 83 cm is 4 cm wider and 12 cm shorter…..
  The GO performs more with its sandwich construction and more modern shape.
  ( Canadian Champion 1999)
  The GO is better for beginners due to its added width soft deck concept and
  side fins. ( Voted beginner board of the year 2000 by Wind mag in France )
  The GO has inside footstrap placements.
  The GO has single fin box.

  We are known for our big ideas , not for big adds, lets GO…
