Beautiful boat!

I liked especially the tilt back daggerboard style rudder - this could become a future standard for multis (and high speed monos), if light enough.

The design is conservative, keeping most of the old (tried and proved) features of the F-boats. This is a comercially adequate choice, given the market segment they are aimed for - cruising.

I also noticed the following technical improvements:

- Float's center of flotation moved forward
- Float's deck flush with the hull and more rounded
- No recess for the beams
- Only professional building allowed
- Less exposed upper struts

The 5 new features are shared with the Catris and some of them also with other modern tris, so I assume the F-Boats are being designed with a more modern view.

The changes are atributable to the natural evolution of the concept - but very probably to the competition too. It is clear that the f-boat design is improving in the right direction.

This is all good news: competition benefits the consumers - us!

Cheers,
