    Hello,

    after 10 years of IF-Sailing I am stuck in love with the Boats of the GGR.
    I am not a math-pro and still would like to learn more about the pros and cons of the different designs of this era from a current perspective. Most of the layman-readable books are way too superficial for what I am interested in, for ex: Why the rustler and not the OE 32 with alsmost the same length of waterline? But when it comes to complicated formulas, my scope is ending...

    Any recommendations?
