- Very clear. The lack of trapeze would also be a need to add some cm to the beam, or some wings, doesn´t it? Anyway, adding beam to this boat doesn´t seem to affect it´s performance as it would on a cat (particularly on it´s turning ability).

Could add trapeze although the short masts/wide beam may make this uncomfortable. Wings are easy as the same hull is always to windward, so there are no tripping issues. Extra beam will mean it will exceed 8' on the trailer. Certainly is not a problem for tacking.

- The lack of stays, that must be a very special and expensive mast?

Not at all. Each one is 8m/26' long, weighs 12 kgs/25lbs and we sell them, unpainted for $Aus2,000/$US1,500. The trick is in the form of the carbon (tow, not uni) and the construction method.

- The front rudder is just left free or is it necessary to fix it while sailing?

The loads on it are pretty light, it can be tied off. Very handy to have it when sudden turns are required, though.
