The Weta 4.4 is a one design class. It has a an exciting combination of:
hi-tech for exceptional performance combined with affordability to incentivise adoption.

Most significantly it meets and conquers a number of challenges important to racers. It delivers multi-hull performance but combines this with exceptional windward performance. It provides high performance sailing for all ages without requiring the exceptional levels of strength and fitness. With its intuitive handling novices can rapidly become credible racers however the rig has sufficient adjustability to
reward the expert.

In New Zealand the first Weta 4.4 nationals were held nationals held at Lake Taupo this December. The event seems to have acquired the name Wetapunga*, after all is racing about number 1, and Wetapunga* is the name of the world’s largest insect.
