Håkan,

Marstrøm gets about! The old man is really impressive.
The only time we have sailed tornados with him on the starting line he was a fair bit behind the olympic teams. Unless he has put in some more sailing time lately "walking away" from a top Tornado team would strongly indicate that the boat is quite a bit faster than the Tornado to windward.
Didn't know the italians had a top Tornado team going again after Athens. First italian team is in 17th position in the rankings followed by 25th and 60th. Not being ironic or "smart", just got curious and checked.

Thanks for the information about the M20. Sure will be interesting to follow the platform and the challengers in the years to come.
