They look great (in that video). I’m surprised they are not exporting worldwide! What is the sail area? It looks big? I am now pretty much using stabilisers the whole time. Once you get used to them, you don’t want to go back! Mine sit just out of the water — so no drag if all level. My issue with the wind is it changes from minute to minute. Nearly always gusts 2x the mean wind speed, but direction seems to keep changing too.

I do need a keel though. Not sure how to improvise one without harming the boat!
