The hulls have plenty of volume and with that beam, why the hell not??

Rick nailed it for why the swept spreaders are the best way to go.

A modern rig would really crank up a Shark AND with a high aspect, squaretop main on a pre-bent mast, you have a more forgiving rig in heavy as well as being faster in all conditions. Twist is fast!

Throw on a downwind sail and fly a hull off the wind too!
