I cracked ours a couple of seasons ago and Z-Spars replaced it really quickly.

Get him to look at the ad for my Mustang 30 Mk2 currently in classifieds instead! Bigger and better and mostly faster although I suspect a Projection might have the edge in planing conditions. I've clocked 14.3 kts and I know another owner who saw 17 kts in the channel with a full gale behind him. He only had a double reefed main up! |

Mmm. Mustang 30 compared to P762. Bigger... yes, faster... no chance. Try a P762 in 25 knots and you will be hooked!

25 kts downwind I expect a P762 will have the edge but round a course I'm pretty sure my Mustang would cross the line ahead and at 0.919 would have a rating advantage. Thats what generally (not always) happens with J80s if they are anything to go by. What do P762s rate IRC?

Racecruiser, 20 knots downwind and all you would see is the spray behind us. You must be really quick as we would be giving you 162 secs per hour. Photo above of P762 leaving Corby 29 behind in force 4-5 and Photo below of P762 winning the IRC SW Champs in 2006, doing 18 knots. Now that even looks quick! |
