[quote=revintage][quote]I wouldn’t call these modern hulls, it’s an 88 N5.5.
For the conditions it’s appropriate to have the crew behind the shrouds on this boat, but i was sailing with the main a bit loose because the downhaul wasn’t tight enough and the crew not trapezing. I was also pinching and not taking all the wind, but with the weight set for full speed.[/quote]
I fully agree, a "modern" hull like F18 is so much fuller in the forward area, giving more floatation. But I love the sleek lines of the 5.5 hulls and they really shine whith lighter crew or single-handed with reduced sail area, Great boat that that is still "modern" in other ways ;-) .<!-- editby --><em>Edited by revintage on Oct 26, 2021 - 06:53 AM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
