Wow. Hans is making some some pretty big claims. If he can match current daggerboard F16's I would think that would be quite an accomplishment.

Not so sure about the lack of spray claim. The 5.7 on a reach in over 15 knots created a fire hose straight up the side of the hulls as you went over every wave. I was trapped out, wearing an old Douglas Gill dingy foulweather, one piece suit and the spray was hitting my ankles hard enough to soak me up the legs to my chest.
