What a tremendous boat this is. We had a 89nm night race with no moon. We had wind 28kts true and waves breaking in the cockpit. We were too inexperienced and tired to put the kite up. We would have easily come first on handicap against fully crewed carbon racers even though we were double handed. Andrew B (New Sun Fast 3300)
