<p> Having looked at a lot of the recent 14 results it strikes me there is a
lot
to be said for the above statement in relation to hull designs and sails as
well I think a lot of the choices made are based on fashion, put any of the
good guys in any of the modern kit and they will be there or there abouts
each hull design or rig may have its optimum conditions but overall you
need
to know what you are doing with it.
