They only thing the Viper may be accused of lacking at this time is curved foils or a wingsail a la AC45. However i thinks latter is impractical for regular regatta sailing and the first is only a small issue in the grant scheme of things especially when the racing is SMOD anyway.

I also heard there was a possible carbon mast in the works and the big one that i havent seen mentioned is that I heard some sort of lifting foils were fitted/proposed for the trials.

Anyone else heard this??
