The Volvo X 20 weights 1200 KG which is quite lighter than the old Formule 40 we had 20 years ago, which used to weight 2000 kg with 90 sq mtrs windward.
Marstrom's idea is probably to maximize the ratio: crew weight/boat weight,which is quite similar to horsepower/ weight, that is why with 450 kg, less sail area she will be probably faster than the VX 40.
