Am I the only one who thought the A5 had a major design flaw by virtue of its "undercarriage" structural design? It often created substantial drag when the boat came down off flying a hull to tack or jibe ... unless the water was flat calm. Just one of many elements that put her at a disadvantage.

As to the wingsail, curved dagger boards and other elements of the BMWO tri...do you have to get hit in the head with a brick before you realize what you just witnessed?...the boat characteristics you cling so tenaciously to were just thoroughly crushed by the future of multihull design...doesn't matter whether you acknowledge it or not...its here.
