[quote=18sq]At first: Sorry for my English.
I have not been out sailing so much this summer unfortunately and tested wind-conditions only from about 2bft to 5bft.
Allthoug Catstick- and Texelratings of the boat are very hard, it can't compete with -for example- modern A-cats. The 18sq was a lot slower when I sailed it at about 3 bft, maybee I could still improve the trim of the 18sq, but the difference was quite evident.
Untill now I even went faster with my recent Nacra 6.0 (18,5 kt compared to 17kt with the 18sq). But I have the feeling more is possible... (with 6bft :) ). When the wind gets harder, the 18sq is a boat still nice to sail...
Maybee that the 18sq can go higher up to the wind than other boates is the main advantage - not the speed.
But I'll go on trying...<!-- editby --><em>Edited by 18sq on Oct 06, 2011 - 10:23 AM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
