Racks are allowed on the stern to help prevent nose diving downwind but they are inline with the max beam of the boat.
Upwind the boat isn't as quick obviously. I think someone said 9knots upwind tacking through 80 degrees, don't quote me on that. The boats have 4 rigs so they can have the appropriate craziness for each wind strength. The number 1 rig is 28ft high.

Mad. Are you sure the challenge isn't to pack as much $$$ per foot of boat? They would nearly be worse than the i14s to buy!
