Hi Rolf,

I have been sailing a Tiger the last 4 years against newer designs. From my experience, it IS a very nice boat. Locally, we were quite competitive upwind, but I think we would have been a little bit faster downwind with a newer design. With waves, the Tiger just gets deaccelerated by waves hitting the rear crossbar. Also, the newer designs tack and jibe faster.

Regarding your list, I would say the Cap and the Infusion are "new" designs. The C2 improves hull shape over the Cap (which primarily reduces nose diving), the Mk2 only adds the daggerboards and some stiffness.

From your list, and having in mind your weight, I would recommend the Infusion. I have switched to a C2 and I am very happy for the moment.
