Both of those boats are totally new designs. I was sent some more detailed drawings (that I won't share b/c they're not mine) that give a better description of the boat and it's hull shape.

I don't have a stake in the any of this, so don't take my defence of it as anything more than, "I'd wait and see before passing judgement". The foils have been going through on the water testing under a modified Nacra 20c since ~April of last year. Out of curiosity though, if I have time, I'll have to put the specs for the two platforms (Phantom and Eagle 20cHF) side by side.
