A Class Cats: curved foils

Much more info: http://www.baca.be/index.php?option=...d=37&Itemid=31
----------------------
From the A Class site:
"This world championship is the first after extensive discussions about curved dagger boards and hydrofoil rules . The box rule is still in place, and time will learn if big innovations will show up.

Some boats are expected with curved foils . The Nikita A class’ from Bob Baier and Thomas Paasch are expected, and also Luc Du Bois and Pieter Saarberg (NED) will use the newest Scheurer curved boards." http://www.mathran.nl/acat/node/86
--------------------
Anybody sailed these foils -or against them?
