Indeed! The speed potential is on par with modern designs. Always on the edge as these boats are rather narrow, and the race is over after a capsize. Cheers Christoph
Dear both, finally coming back to your comments after a year 🙂 Preference of rig design is "undecided". It appears that gunter rigs provide more power downwind and more sensitive trim options. Ultimately the looks with gunter rig are more classical. Elvena was built with a marconi mast in 1958 so I kept it that way. Enjoy the show Christoph
Vielen Dank, das gebe ich gerne ans Team weiter! Auf die Segelgig sind wir besonders gespannt, aber eure anderen Boote sind auch toll. Beste Grüße Christoph Kempermann (mr_hoopdriver)
