Guys, You cant base any analysis on the hull design from the results from the lake. The wind is so shifty and its really easy to sail into a hole and park. The locals did well and the local knowledge paid off. Secondly, the Acat is really hard to sail downwind fast, so the sailors skills are pretty important.
I think its the sailor's skills first, the rig second, the hulls third.
You'll notice that Lars won, even against Ben's new wing and Ben's no slouch.
The LR2 looks better in person and the build quality is top notch. I think the only way to really judge it is to sail it.
