Ok, so what's the fastest singlehanded boat round the cans, on the water, forget PY? 
Inland, those sub 10mph days, but always shifty & gusty.
92kg in my birthday suit.

The one with the best sailor...

Given equal sailors an A class catamaran I should think.

If you want monohull only a modern IC, specifically a Morrison will be fastest, just not by enough to save any reasonable handicap...

I reckon an rs300 will beat a phantom on the water even in the light given equal sailors.

An IC ( the new development one) ???  Really ?  I thought they were for fly weights, ex Moth sailors.   I have to say, the new Canoes are really something.    A real weapon.   But not a PY bandit.

Agree with Jim on the 300 being quicker than a Phant
