I think Wouter mentioned it not too long ago. There are waver piercers and then there are wave piercers. A catamaran still needs to have sufficient volume in the bows to keep from submerging. Although the blade does have a reverse canted bow, it appears (in my opinion) to have considerable hull volume up front for when it is needed. Looking at the Fox, the bows are not only reverse canted but they are quite thin and not very tall. The Blade, by comparison, has a taller bow and is a bit thicker.
