Thare was a boat at the '05 worlds in France with banana boards. I don't recall that it was in the top finishers. Apparantly someone has refined the design since then. If it is large boost in speed for the average sailor, I can see it worth a refit. If it takes the top sailors to achieve the benefit from it then it's a moot point for me. I can't keep up with them using the current equipment.
