Ditto what Wouter said. A little tuning on the rig and it tracks great. I can drop the stick, go to leeward, deal with the spin or anything that gets tangled. It is not a problem. Again, as Wouter said, it takes a little tuning, and in the beginning, it was a problem, however, the problem is now solved.
The boat tracks great and tacks super quick. I've said it before and will say again that I honestly feel comfortable tacking on wind shifts when on the race course, something I haven't been doing since sailing cats. It really is a great boat for me. I'd love to see an I17 sometime and race against it or an F16 or F18 just to see how it stacks up.
