Hi all,

I think my boat is about 110kg. the boats after are lighter I believe.

Yes I think Marcus was involved with spinnaker design, the spinnaker was very controllable not to unstable but with a nice open leech. Main was powerful designed for Marcus 105kg. I think. Again the leech was very flat though which I like, should make it fast. Head did have some shape as Rolf said but opened up quickly.

As far as the boat, it felt very light in the water, turning easily and responding to every gust with rapid acceleration. It was a surprise for me to feel the leeward bow rise up as I trapped under spinnaker, flying a hull. I moved forward but it made little difference as the bow kept up. Nothing like "Altered" of course it didn't sink in the transoms much either. The most outstanding difference was how quickly you could turn downwind to react to the gusts under spinnaker, the location made this essential to survive even though I got a bit high some times. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
