Hi Zach,

thank you for the valuable input. I ordered the boat in WWR. I really wanted to like the AIR, but the old AIR layup doesn`t look robust enough. The new grey AIR on the other hand - acc. to the local Nelo dealership - has a thin paint and matt clearcoat finish which is very easily damaged. I also think that it is very difficult to maintain a matt coating. Interestingly It is heavier than the old one. (10kg vs 8,5kg)
The HC is not announced yet but it seems to have the same finish.
The SCS was just too much for too little gain.

I wish Nelo had the same prepreg, autoclave technology as NK.

Anyway I am really looking forward to this boat. :)

WWR is plenty light and is more robust. Good choice! I bought my AIR layup used which is the only reason I got that layup. If I had been buying new I probably would have got WWR as well.
