Wouter,
Regarding this comment:
Alot more interesting would have been to use the same specs as the Tornado and then design it such that it beats the Tornado by a significant margin. Then we all as catamaran enthousiasts can learn something. Learn what new design features improve performance. Right now we can learn nothing because this boat is pretty much alone in its specs.
And then this boat would be directly against the Tornado; would you invest your money in trying to overthrow the Tonado. Mastrom has tried with the M20 and has not made much progress.
The Olympic teams will be sailing the Tornado and then the F18 for the fleet sizes. I'd wager that this boat is aimed at people who want to go faster than a Tornado (hopefully) but with less skill.
Yes, I'd agree it's nothing really new, but it may have a market and it looks like it should be fun.
