uk | the F18[nacra] is a total cow downhill in the rough stuff, the tiger had better rocker.
Flat water - f18 ever time though.

Kingston SE South Australia | I've pitchpoled my 5.7 a few times but never did when I had my 5.8 there is something about the hull shape that keeps the bows up, when your on a reach and keeping it flat you can feel the hulls just kissing the water with fine spray everywhere.

Clermont, FL, USA | thanks for the feedback
how do they all compare to the prindle 19 ? It's all in the layout. The F18's are really crew friendly and are designed to be run with a spin so the balance of the boat is better. With the kick up centerboards and an overlapping jib the P19 is a good distance sled. My brother has a P19 and my Infusion is superior is every way but I might be a little bias :-)
