The boat heels slightly over its chine and even in what regards changing
direction the boat has a good performance , the hull comes out of the tack and
accelerates quickly to a good pace .
On a beam reach we got 7 knots. We did not have aboard the asymmetrical : nevertheless even without one downwind the boat maintains a good pace : 6.5 knots. “

Next it was tested by the Germans of Yacht.de and for what I can understand they were as amazed as me with the great cruising interior (they passed most of the movie showing it :-( ). The boat sailed well they reached 7k with not much wind and they said it was a pleasant boat to sail.
Not bad, here you will have the comments about the best tests made to interesting boats in France,
Germany, Italy, Brittany and with some luck on some other countries. Kind of gives a complete image of the boats ;-)
