Stewart,
<br>I read that the recent skiff hulls have a higher planing speed (threshold)in order to improve light air performance. Moderate wind performance is sacrificed a bit. Could this be what you have noticed?
<br>To you and Macca. Have either of you raced the 49ers on your cats? I have heard that in short courses the 49ers are pretty quick compared to the 18ft skiffs due to their quicker handling, kite launchers etc, so I was wondering how these fair compared to the Taipans and Tornados.
<br>
<br>Cheers
<br>
<br>Simon<br><br>
