Love it!

The stingray has to be one of the coolest cats around then.
Not only does it have the tornado bow, but also a front beam. When the front beam touches the water at speed it produces a very spectacular cartwheel. And cartwheels are cool too right?

I remember my amazement at how the Nacra 5.8 handled differently to the stingray. Whereas the the stingray would go up and over the wave. Mostly. With enough wind the 5.8 would just say F#$% ^#F, and go straight through, just like a wave peircer should i guess.

Then moving to the Taipan, I found that it would slice through those waves so easily compared the 5.8.

I cant be sure, but I think my current boat, an ozBlade, needs a bit more energy than the taipan, but much less that the 5.8, to get through a wave. If it does dig in though, it definitely recovers much easier than both.
