I also want a go on one, Simon. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I find this part of the discussion quite interesting. We just need some hard figures from the crews now to establish what kind of top speeds they have reached so far. Perhaps somebody has the opportunity to ask one of the crew?

Now, to derail the discussion. It's quite a huge and steep stern wave from that Stealth in the photo. Lower part of mainsail is very deep, large twist (and boom is characteristically out of column). Are they on some kind of reach?
