If the 17 doesn't get picked as the Olympic Multihull will Nacra make it anyway?

I think this will depend on demand, but given that the design is expected to easily outperform the F18 and the tooling will already be in place it will be a distinct possibility that it will go in production regardless of Olympic selection...

Can you explain the point of the curved boards.

Excuse my ignorance then, but will the 17 meet the F18 rules?

I don't know about the entire box rule but can confirm that curved boards and carbon mast are banned by F18 class rules....

That's what I had thought. Chris Field says that on the 'A' class they are no better to windward, straight boards generally faster, but curved boards lift a boat, sailed flat, out of the water downwind. Would a double-hander be any different?
