Agreed.; But my Inter 17 was far worse down wind than my F16 with T foils when it's howling. I pitched by 17 in a few times, but this was in loads of wind, I've sailed the F16 in similar without problems.

My view that it is partly due to how a fleet evolves.

My F16 is better downwind in marginal conditions simply because it has T's.


Hmmm... apples to oranges. Your former Nacra 17 had the smaller alum mast and bigger spin than what we are running now in the USA, taller mast, higher aspect mainsail and smaller spin. It is quite balanced and easy to push when the breeze is on. It really is "when the competition backs off we keep going"!!! grin I'm glad to hear your T foils work so well.

Happy Holidays!!
