I did hear of a new boat coming. It looks nice! it would be nice to see one make it to the US but I still think there is more chance of comparisons to the ASG3 in ITA. Our benchmark is certainly the A3. Lars sails exceptionally well but the other guys with A3's and Glaser's are also going very quick. It is hard to tell but in the footage the V1R still looks like it has a lot more rocker than the Flyer II,ASG3 amd A3 especialy around the main beam
