“we are trying to maximise our profits by reducing quality control and producing as many boats as possible while the market will buy it.”
Its more like "We're trying to get peoples' boats to them (that they've already paid for) before the next <insert major regatta here> and quality may suffer."
Let us not forget this boat is employing a new building method, and there are bound to be wrinkles to iron out in the process.
As for the N20, We've never pitched it going downwind with the spin up, even in some pretty knarly sea states *knocks on wood*. We have pitched it while beam reaching when my lard-butt was too far forward during a "between the condos, offshore gonzo 30 knot blast" (Quote from Jake Kohl).
