I have not seen one but the Farr designed Fingulf 43 looks like it will be a very nice performance cruiser.

There's a simple answer to that question. There is no money in it.
A less simple answer could be that there's no challenge either. Over here, the focus has been, and still is, to be the one who designed the first over the line in the Sydney-Hobart - now, that's challenging!
Or perhaps he thinks there's too many others designing performance cruisers? or maybe the constraints are too much trouble?? Perhaps you could
ask him ... expert to expert!
