    A Class Cats: curved foils

    Much more info: http://www.baca.be/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=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?
