Thanks. The boat floats level at rest. Rare Bird has a more voluminous windward hull (1m longer, no rocker and the covered saloon/under cover steering station. RB also has twin engines and less tramp/more solid area on the bridgedeck. The rigs are the same, although BD has a stiffer mast. RB is half a ton or so heavier (3 t vs
2.5).
regards,
rob

Very nice!!! congrats!!!I had one question regarding the windward hull - it seemed to be floating higher than the leeward one in the last part of the video - but I also saw most of the people sitting close to or on the leeward hull - are there differences between rare bird and blindate?----- Original Message ----
