I feel this is due to the stiff mastsection (only a little automatic depowering or power control), very long daggerboards (tripping) and the volume distribution of the hulls. The FX-one sits better in the water with about 130 kg on board and I found it to be a fast ship that way when fitted with the 4.15 sq. mtr jin [jib]


...which backs up Mark P's thought? Depowering and the problem of board tripping I have heard mentioned. Seems like depowering is where it's at. Prefer not spending all my time screaming "slow down, dammit, SLOW DOWN" ONLY, if you know what i mean.
