Definantly a tad controversial!  I have a lot of respect for what theyve created with the 300 rig whilst keeping it unstayed... id be interested to hear the reasoning on staying it?

More power for the same area, better gust response, longer lasting sails, better twist control, apart from that nothing...

yer but then the boat would not be as fast down wind and not as hard to sail down wind as you would have to sail higher angles because of the shrouds

TBH ... Foils on anything would be good.

Even better if you could pull them up / down from inside, and not have to launch into a minimum depth of water (eg: 3 x pin holes .. one up, one halfway down, and one fully down) so that you can sail away from shalow water and still have some control ... same for coming back in.


Anyone up for putting foils on an RS600 / 700 / MPS?

Been done on the 600, for and aft trim is a bitch to get right apparently.

I guess losing bout 50kg off the L4000 would be pretty ideal!
