I get that. I envision the buyer as a Mark Zuckerberg type, not quite as successful but not the same guy that buys the typical new sailboat,today. You buy this boat for the speed potential-simple as that. And that's not unusual(and nothing wrong with it). You must have bought your boat with speed primarily in mind?

I don't know if I agree on the complexity and high maintenance. I get the sense that because the weight was the primary driver in design, complexity got left at the dock, if only for the weight saving. The foils- super light, appear to be manually raised by blocks and lines. And there is very little in machinery due to the smaller-lighter rig and lack of amenities(electrical weight). Compared to the average new 40' sailboat today. I see a rather systems-simple, boat here. A real bottom line plus for the builder.

Another plus I think I see, the foils look very slim and real springy. In fact, they might sheer off instead of causing major damage in the event of a 30' beaching. That would actually be a smart feature. Have a spare set at your nearby beach house.
