This was written during the development, and most of it still fits today.
For example, the furler system uses a 1:2 ratio. For every foot of comfortable line you pull, you furl two feet of small, non-stretch stuff onto the furling drum -- very fast for furling.
Single-handing the boat I have been able to come into the leeward mark on starboard (inside mark room and right of way boat as well), Furl quickly, make the jibe and come out of the turn just missing the mark while being close-hauled.
Works great!
