Hi Fellow Sailors,

 

I¢m stoked with the New Equipe III.

 

More volume has always been better in light winds.  Arden ¢s Division II is proof of that.  Problem with the Division II is when the wind picks up it is very hard to sail fast.  That¢s when the Equipe II dominated.  The Equipe III will be better in light winds (more volume, wider, and a longer daggerboard) .  When it get¢s windy planning conditions, it should plan sooner (less wind) the adjustable daggerboard will allow one to control the lift generated by moving it back and up.

 

I feel the Equipe III will perform better than the Equipe II which performed better than its predecessor the Equipe.   This is the 4^th generation of the Equipe and everyone was better than the last. (Each generation had more volume).  I¢m getting one and I hope it gives Arden a run for his money in light winds.

 

See you at the Sturgeon Stampede Feb 13-15.

Hi Del ,

 

the extra volume of the new Equipe (286l) would no doubt be better in light wind that your 91XR (235l) at your body weight.

 

Cheers,
