The new Bell solo for 2014 is not the Phoenix, it doesn't have a name yet, but is 15.5 ft long, 30 inches wide, 26.5" waterline, and has 2 in bow, 1" stern rocker. Waterline Length/Width is ~ 6.7, so it'll track better than Phoenix, not quite as well as Magic. Maybe the Merlin III? Drawn by Carl Yost, it is the largest in the Yost series of solo trippers.
