I have zero interest in sailing in tornado class regattas. I'm not nearly good enough to compete with them, and really, I could care less about competing at that level.

I soley interested in going fast (which this boat definitely can do) and doing some distance races with my girlfriend.

I really can't stand class racing, probably deriving from a personality flaw where I like to be unique. I couldn't stand driving a car that everyone else drives, can stand doing what everyone else does. So don't worry, I wont be rolling up in your tornado regattas with my snazzy carbon kevlar boat.
