Big main and hard chines so when the roll the chine digs in and they
spear off in all directions.


Yeah it is... like a big board boat with an invisible Giant
Hand(tm)


Oh and Bob,,I believe that both Doug and I have actually sailed
one..not just capable of identifying one by the insignia.


Crewed on one years & years ago, thought it was a heck of a
lot of work and was shocked at how tiny & fragile it felt.
The one I crewed on was a bit dated even for it's time
(which was back when I was young and dinosaurs roamed the
Earth)... to give you an example, it had a gimmick for the
runners that the helmsman called a goat's foot....

Lots of power though, a fun boat. Good call for the Olypmics.

There are a few clubs with Stars on the Chesapeake, when we
were racing the circuit up there we would see them scooting
around in almost no wind.
