this pic was still with the old 10 m sail on the 12 m mast, but luckily in quite some breeze, so did not miss my new sails too much that day.
with so many changes to the boat, it's quite difficult to say what brings what, but regarding the hull extension I am very happy. She cuts much nicer through the waves now and splashes significant less than before. Probably the new bows also generate more lift but with the new sails and the increase mastlenght and sailarea she will be quite some beast. Hope to post better images soon. Although the new sails finally arrived, summer is here and we enjoy what all Qingdao Olympic sailor will fear... less than 6 knots of wind all day long :-(
