But on the F16, all I have to do is tweak the tiller and the low bow goes under. Dig it in too deep and you are hitting the breaks, not fast. Better to sit in and back, get the bows up and plane.
I disagree, maybe on your F16 the bow will dive, certainly on the Stealth that is not the case, you can be really pushed hard out on the wire and the bow will remain well up, how much of that is to do with the T foils I'm not sure as a progressive submerge ( loading ) should mean the T foils are not really working. I would guess the Stealth must have more volume up front.
I've not sailed a Blade or Viper but was very dissapointed with the FX1 when we went out on it, as soon as you started to really push ( heat up )the FX1 on 1 hull with the spinnaker the bow just went under and continued under until you went downwind and backed off. Admittedly we had two heavy weights on board but the FX1 has way more volume and length than the Stealth. I could see how easy it was to trip as has been reported before.
