Twin trapeeze boats?

   We trained from Lymington a few months ago, with some 800's.  In about 10 knots of breeze we were fully wiring upwind, sailing past 800's who were crouching on the wing.  49er is way more powerful than the 800, so it's no contest really.  To be honest, I wouldn't sail anything else.

	800s dont come close to a i14 or a 49er end of discussion

	It shouldn't come down to speed though. My point was that the 49er gets you wiring far quicker, and is therefore more enjoyable to sail. (in my opinion)
