The M20 is 2.9 meters wide and the first 6 boats to finish on 2009 Texel was M20 with sloop rigs. The team that came first had an extra wide M20, I think it was 3.6 meters wide. Marstrom is now building new wide beams for some M20 in Holland....
Some M20 boats tested the newly developed "banana" boards from Marstrom. It's hard to tell if you gain much with them but it sure lifts the boat!
