I raced one of these for a few years, back in their peak (if there ever was one) and they are quick little boats, but built largely for light to moderate winds. They earned their numbers in winds below 18, but over that the hull shapes and foil stabilty didnt' really do so well. It is also a very narrow boat, limiting your righting moment with a larger sail plan. Might be an intersting expiriment to widen it a bit with a new sail plan,hmmm just time and money right??
