Hi all, and responding to Ross,
Wet Aldebaran VI (1827) today. Completed her first race, 12-15 knots, comfortable trapezing, and over-powered at times. Preoccupied for 2 laps finding the sweet spot going to windward in sloppy conditions. Kept Atreus honest for first part until they began to 2 trap. Very rusty for first outing of the season so very clumsy on the boat. But also unbalanced tacking and gybing as A6 is quicker in the turns. Hull shape seems steadier on a shy reach whilst trapping off the rear beam. All in all, everything worked and no water in the hulls after. So keen to repeat the day and learn to sail the new hulls, fast!
Measure tomorrow, expect to be +55kg because the hull skin ply is thicker than A5's. Shall broadcast info for those interested.
