I sailed some sputnik WC's while on vacation last year and liked 'em a lot.
They were quick to plane, fast, and jibed fairly well. The downside is
that they seem to be fairly fragile. I saw a 280 on display at ASD, it
had folded from a flat landing. The guy who owned it brought it in for
repair, but it was too far gone. They (ASD) were using it as part of
their sales pitch. Rig a big sail and go out and have fun, just be careful
with your jumps.
