Just got some first hand feedback from the European Titles. The Nikita was very fast as were the boats with curved boards in the predominantly light wind. This seemed to be the case in both upwind and downwind mode with them keeping the boards down all the time. The canted boards had to be raised downwind to stay near them.
The winning sail was an Ashby small head 09 Worlds cut followed by a Brewin big head then a Landenberger small head. General feeling was the big head sail kept the canted board boat with the curved board boats. There was only one point between firat and second so maybe it had more to do with what they had for breakfast!
