Hi Jake

Heard these types of discussion the last few years as they pertain to all Formula classes .

Hull shape differences are not going to be substanntial on 20 ft 8.5 beam designed cats with huge sailplans that these have .
The wonderfull part of Formula is if you don't like your boat performance -change it with sails -modification -snuff system of your choosing . -For distance racing with safety issues and extreme type conditions sometimes encountered this is mandatory .
