Maybe someone can help me out here. I am trying to understand who is who and what is what when it comes to designers of the Ventilo 20. There seems to be several different V20 models.

Morrelli and Melvin's website claim to be the designers. Ventilo's website shows conflicting information.

When I recently inquired with Matt McDonald about the possibility of him building a Blade 20, he told me that the V20 is his design that he actually put on paper about 5 years ago.

I also wonder if the Hobie Fox was originally a Ventilo. And I wonder what Hobiecat is up to with the rumor of a CF Fox to debut at Texel this month.

I have seen a picture of a hull that Matt has in his shop

and they have sterns that look a lot like the one shown here as "Ventilo 20' type 609
modèle 2001"
