Hi Morges, have a closer look: The deck shape is round, the Pulso has edges. The complete hull is higher. The bow is different, just both are wavepiercer. As the mould of the Pulso is left side / right side of a hull, it must be different moulds. Even the Hobie FX, Flyer or the new Alinghi are looking more similar to the Pulsos design, let`s wait to Ernesto Bertarellis reaction when you destroy his nice beast….

good speed in light wind on your hobbie.

Very nice video!
I have a hobie fox.
We sailed 13 knots in very light wind.

I sail with all three sails.
We do not have any F20 over here in Australia.
Is the predator similar hull shape of a Hobie Tiger ?

Our Predator is faster then Tornado. I hope to sail constantly at similar speed as you. Do you sail single handed with gennaker over 22 knots or with main and jib? It is freezing here so not much sailing now.

No worries.
I sail my Tornado single handed and have got to over 22 knots consistently.
Keep up the good work

Hi Matej,
it is not that bad there

Hi Jarmon72,
the record was made or rather established single-handed gennaker sailing on F20 Predator catamaran. It is not so low considering single handed sailing because there is not enough crew weight to heel agains spinnaker to prevent pitchpoling. This was first attempt in new class boat and many other and better records, I am sure, will follow

Hey there,
what record was that ?
sub 20 knots is not that fast.
