Surprise, surprise,,,its an HT hull,(at least thats what it looks like to me). The hull from the front xbeam forward is an exact copy. It looks like its got more volume in the stern, thats good. They kept the HT rudder stocks, thats bad.

Does F18 allow carbon beams? Or did they paint the aluminum black? Either way I like it.

Carbon rudders? very nice, Will they be hollow? Hopefully not. Will they leak? If they're hollow they will.

What are the odds they will get the rudders hold down and kick up right? Probably low.

It will be interesting to see if this F18 is competitive. If so, Wouter's constant drum beating that the HT's hull shape was bad will be proved wrong.
