HI Matt

Is the boat being designed to the Euro Formula 20 rule or ANY formula rule or box rule that's published?

Perhaps the thinking is that you can only put so much sailpower on a 8'6 wide boat... therefore... that's the rule with respect to power...

Boat weight on the other hand matters and the question is why stick with 300 lbs? Why not lighter?

The Marstrom M20 demonstrated that light weight = huge speed potential in the 20 foot range but it was 9 feet wide.
It also demonstrated that long dagger's can blow up when you hit something and prevent you from finishing (texel)

If they succeed in building a clearly faster 8'6 20 foot boat... who would bring an I20 or Nacra 6.0 to race against it with out using some sort of rating system?

Any pictures or drawings of the hull shape available?
Thanks
Mark
