G'day All,
I have seen the AO14 in action & it's a well presented boat. I'm sure that when the correct size kite ( 14m2 you say Wouter ??), there will be some nose dive action occuring. The AO14 certainly has some sail area upwind & performs really well. Somehow I dont think it will be a direct match to the F18's, but wont be far off the mark.
Looking forward to seeing it in action with the big kite on board!!!.
