beachwalker member Registered: 04/03/04 Posts: 55	Funny thing I just noticed... that 08 Contrail looks a lot like my 04 Virga 1 when I attach the 2 side tie outs, and tighten her up... the back/top begins to flatten out just the same. Hey, on another note, is there really much of a weight savings over using a hoop style rear, like the original Virga/Squalls had? There's just about the same amount of aluminum back there... -- BW
