Build it lighter than the 49er with a slightly flatter higher aspect ratio sail plan and you'd be fairly quick. Scrap the one rig rule idea, go two, a normal one and then an ickle one for when the wind goes over 20 knots, very flat and low dragish.

I think you've just described an M18.

Know it's a three man boat thread, I was meaning a double hander. Don't really see the point though, 49er is a pretty good boat, a lot of effort for marginal gain, if any.
