Hi G,
So I am told, the Appollo is a great board for lighter winds, up to 12-13 knots. then the Formula 161 is overtaking with better speed only. I am desperate to try the Appollo myself, i will try it with a 70cm fin whilst i am here in Korea. This is a lightwind venue also, so its a perfect opportunity to give some feedback on performance. to look at, the appollo is longer, and thinner in the nose. whilst the tail is wider and thicker. perfect for lake sailing, and also light wind formula races (under 12-13 knots) which, thinking about it, is a good percentage of all formula races that we race in, nationally and internationally.

all the best
Keith
