The DW is a new hull and like with any new boat it has to be developed, the tunnel is now proved to be very fast in calm but we have been having dificulties in rougher water, like Sean says we moved the fuel tanks which was the most work and moved the cg back so we'll test and go from there.
Yes good to have you back garbage man.
so how did the test go.....instead of running up and down in the lee of the island a simple turn would have put you in some 6-8's

you going to run out of time to ship up for the worlds

Tony I am not sure what message you are sending me, the only class I am interested in building is a single Supercat class with engine choices like Class 1 and P1 governed by a set of rules that we can all follow... C1 already has rules that allow both 750, V12 and 850/1075 spec engines (and I certainly hope we don't end up shifting the monopoly from one engine brand to another)....so we'll see what happens...action speaks louder than words!
