20 years is a long time in F18 Rolf!
So a Hawk with good sails and new rearbeam is a dog? More so than a Tiger? Honestly, I dont know so I am asking.
I've been told the Hawk has a good hullshape(Have not had a look at one for ages mind); I wonder if they did get lazy with the Vx40's and just copy it, or is WAS a good shape.
Would be interesting to see a good Hawk with decent sails to see how well it went.
