I think it looks quite like the Jav2 18HT, except more freeboard and slightly larger throughout. The rear beam looks to be higher than the HT. Once the rear beam was raised on the HT it solved a bad habit the HT had of pitching forward when the rear beam slapped a wave. Hopefully this one is high enough. It looks fine in the pictures, but the only way to tell for sure is in a nice spicy blow.

I think the bows will be fine with the kite up. It will definetely be sensitive to weight placement, just like the HT.

I think its got lots of rocker, at least thats what it looks like to me.

The rudder castings look like the same Bimare treatment as the HT and the Bim ACats, which was locked down and didnt allow for kickup. A weak point in my opinion. Rudders and daggers are black, are the just painted or are they carbon? Does the class allow carbon foils?

Good looking boat, sails look great. I'm suspicious of the rudders.
