Hans, the new Marstrom has canted hulls, strikerless main beam and changed hull shape. The discussion here will of course be biased depending on if you have a boat with banana boards or not, or if you don't have an A-cat at all and just wants those poor bastards to pay for foil deveolpment that you can pick later on for your own class.....

If you have such a boat you will of course try to say that it isn't faster to avoid any rule changes. My information is also from people that where there sailing and the result from the races gives an clear indication that that boat has a very good combination of hull shape and centerboard for some conditions. 1,2 one day and mid fleet the next day.
