Blues- Seems kinda hard to say the boat wasn't modified then post a quote from the skipper saying that the keel, hull, sails, rigging, and mast were different?????

So far G- is the only one with first hand knowledge, apart from the quote from the skipper. It is a little off track from the original post, but sounds like Dufour wants to pull a fast one with their marketing.
 
Waymar- I agree with you in concept, but the idea was that you were suppost to race with a standard factory boat. What they did was to take a factory boat, make a bunch of modifications to compete unfairly in an easiler class and then say, "Oh, well, we will make those modifications at the factory if someone wants them."
