An alternative training yacht for young sailors, or for parents to enjoy sailing with their offspring. With a reefable, boomless mainsail, jib and a roller furling gennaker for more advanced sailing. Controls are kept simple. The floats have a unique feature to enable easy righting. Production of the boats has started. Designed as a fun, fast but stable entry level boat, that can be easily dismantled for trailering.

TC Design designed the boat that has become the Weta 4.4, but is not recieving any royalties on its production.
