If I remember correctly, the Mystere 4.3 has a skeg hull so there are no boards to mess with. The design and setup is totally modern and it can carry a spin. I saw a couple of them out at Dunedin Causeway, it is a real nice little boat. I thought it would be a perfect boat for someone to train on growing up if they were serious about sailing. John Williams had one for several years and I am sure he could give you more insight on it.
