Julian Bethwaite has designed a larger mast for his 29er that features a mast-head spinnaker, two trapeze wires, two spreaders, cap, main and lower shrouds, and an all carbon composition. Targeted to fill a potential women's high performance dinghy position at the 2012 Olympic Games, the new rig has been dubbed the "XX".

San Francisco resident and SSF Boardmember Jen Morgan Glass is working to promote the class. Thanks to PS2000 Jen is currently sailing a demo version of the 29erXX. Contact Jen if you are interested in learning more about the 29erXX or visit her site.
