We are introducing a new MX-Ray 2000 Limited Edition. Boats feature unique color theme with sharp combinations of yellow and
black -- MX-Ray's primary colors. Both hull and deck are bright yellow. Uniform color creates a distinctive -- simple and
bold -- visual image that enhances the sophisticated beauty of the hull's shape. In a stark contrast, the rudder, daggerboard,
front wing, and non-skid pads are black. Rudder head is yellow. Black carbon fiber mast and bowsprit and anodized boom complete
this impressive package.
It pays to know the parts of the boat.

The builder shipped pre-cut and color-coded cordage for every piece needed on the boat. Each one is neatly labelled to match
the instructions in the detailed User's Manual

My own boat has not yet been christened or given its virgin sail so everything looks brand new - as it is.

Mastering the fine art of Mx-Ray sailing
Most sailors have noted that four hands are necesary to sail the boat well - though it is simpler with the chute down. (Top

Athleticism a plus.
A good pair of hiking pants are a valuable item in the sailor's quiver of essential kit. The big sail plan clearly puts a
premium on hiking skills. (Middle photos)
The mylar main with its full-length battens is more like a windsurfing sail, and is not particularly happy going upwind
in a small breeze, though Vlad liked to cite the 6/20 rule: plane in six knots, reach max speed at 20 knots (Lower photo)
