On another note, I raced my Nacra 5.2 with the spin this past weekend and ended up taking second in a small regatta on Lake Hefner.

Downwind when the wind was blowing between 10-12 my crew and I were beating two farrier F28 trimarans, we could easily pass them downwind and sometimes hang onto the lead upwind. We beat one of them over the line every race and the other was never very far ahead and we would have beat him one race had we known where the finish line was.... Long story

I am just starting to learn what the boat can do under spin, so we will see but for now I am happy with beating a couple of boats that are worth about 150 times what my 5.2 is worth.
