I have read many aritcles and on this page about the Jav2. Many of those articles were somewhat negative-not enough forward boyency-do not sail in 20 knots breezes. Well I just sailed it today in about 15 knots with roughly 20knot gusts and the boat perfomed fantasicly! It was well balanced, predictable and just a delight to sail. However the only down side was that its a very wet boat, even out on the wire. I don't know how it would have done at the worrel 1000 though many boats other than the Nacra6.0 have sumcummed to breakage. I think its a great boat and will buy it.
