So what's the learning curve like and weight limitations? cool

We do have wider tacking angles, but these narrow as the boats get faster. 14-16 knots upwind is common.

Hit 26+ knots yesterday downhill and the wind was only in the high teens...

But there is a massive and long learning curve in them with lots of swimming. And yes Wouter, we can't launch through the surf, but majority of people don't.

So bang for buck, they are certainly great value.

And who pays VAT/GST on the full price?
