G’day Ian,
Just got hold of these pics of us in this year’s Adelaide Pt Lincoln race. Two years in a row it’s been >35kts at the start and caused some major structural damage to quite a few of the multis. All that’s ever happened to us is that we tore a sail, but never once felt unsafe out in the middle of it . I think we’d still feel safe shooting rapids in this boat!
Cheers and regards
Alan Dowler.
