Wizzer

 Home-built from plans

Brand:

Woods

Designed by:

Woods Designs, Lilian Woods

Description:

The Wizzer is a development of the Gwahir, and like its predecessor is a racer that is exceptionally fast, responsive and intended for experienced competitive sailors. With more freeboard than the Gwahir she has more accommodation space, however, the most significant difference is the rig. The Wizzer has a large mainsail and very small jib, which proved a better solution for a wider range of wind speeds.
