These guys are in "uncharted waters" here so it is possible they might have -miscalculated- what they need up front. Remember when Play Station had it's bows "fixed" after a near pitchpole out in the big ocean? I realize they are not going to be racing these things in conditions like that or in the open oceans, but still, mistakes may have been made...
However, Bertarelli has quite a bit of experience racing rather large cats, so maybe he wants it just like that, it is he who picks the venue, right? Maybe he'll pick San Diego and built it for the light air prevelant there.
My biggest fear would be like what was happening to the Orma60 tri's that started putting t-foils on the rudders to keep the sterns down. They worked great but when they let go she goes tits up in a skinny second....
These forward foils are going to provide lift fine until the bows find themselves pointed down...then the foils only help to exacerbate the problem and keep things driving deeper.
