Once again... the USA Version of the I-20 has a larger sail plan than the iF20 rule. The Fox was designed to compete under the iF20 rule in Europe. Can't sail them together boat for boat here.

Yes, I have sailed them and am very familiar with the reverse bow and its potential for pitching the boat in a surf landing. I witnessed Woody Cope do that on a Hobie 20 Miracle at St Joe Michigan years ago. The Fox can only be more likely to stick it. Honestly... that was one of my opinions as to why it would not be a good Worrell boat.

I can not tell you why Nigel would have been training on one though. We never committed any boats to the Worrell 1000. Although, Worrell was trying to get us to do it.
