Why is Gabriel Browne winning with a 2006 sail?

Is there really any difference in performance with newer sails???

and also same goes with the boards, as still most of the top starboard racers seems to prefer the formula 161 shape instead of newer ones ( formula 162 is non existent in races)

Can one spec a similar blunder with the new 167 shapes??

Lets hope not...
