Sorry WindSwept- It just seems that the A2 boys are complaining about lack of forward bouyancy. RE:Speed on my XJ vs new design? At the Silver Lake Invitational when Ian's mast was hanging over sideways because the Vectran stretched- I felt really fast. But at Douglas Lake a month later with Ian's new SS shrouds, I felt slow. Note the title of this 20 page thread- It isn't just the bow shape that is different- there are no "decks".
