>>150554Could get alex thompson's old farr boat. The one which had a shell which could enclose the primary's and pedestal with tiller included. Only problem with this is more windage, that's why you go flushdeck.
The vendee boats don't go upwind you'll note they try to stick to TWA of 90. ( That's how they get such high NM per day) Compared to most other ocean crossing boats which go upwind. You'll note the vendee boats only really carried R1-R4's, they have a few soft sails but it's all reaching. That's why the windage means nothing.
