This is the only portion of the private communication (post tradewinds) that I dare quote unasked on this forum :
... and it was unbelievable how in control we felt in the blows,
the boat accelerated out of every puff and we never felt like we were
fighting at all to keep in control. On sunday when the wind really started
picking up and the chop got worse it was the same. The small chop we did not notice at all.
The other parts are very positive as well and confirm pretty much all that what was said about the design in
the past and by other (test) sailors. It was a really good outcome for all involved parties. But I think the comments
from other posters like Zuhl gave that away already.
