Dave,
Here's my take on it so far....
Boat is easy to tack and gybe. As far as speed, it is equal to the carbon rig and more time will tell us a lot about it! In waves and breeze, very smooth and it's easy to make it go fast. Very responsive to mast rotation. I will be racing a 2 day event this weekend and I will report back to this thread on what transpired. After owning a carbon rig for 5 years, I'm very impressed with the ease and simplicity of sailing the new rig! Looks sexy, yes?
