[quote=P.M.]Not so fast. Both boats were Prosail Formula 40's (40 ft.) and yes they are different, and yes they're D class. I trust the source, Randy, Mark and Prosail.
So what's all this nonsense with D Class? It's vague I tell ya. Probably the result of webcrawlers and aggregators. IMBd gets it wrong all the time, and from there it has snowballed. So what is the D class? Hydroptere is a D class and she is 79 ft. long. D class is confusing even to the rank and file catamaran elite. Some see it as an old expensive developmental class chasing speed records. Some define it as 32-36 ft and up with 300-500 sqft of sails. You can further confuse yourself by enriching your knowledge base here:
