A couple of questions for Tiesda, or other team members.

Last week, when the forecasted wind failed to arrive on a local lake, I had a go on an olympic Lechner with a triangular sail in 2-4 knots "gusting" to 7-8. I haven't sailed that board for more than 10 years, and I admit I had a blast. So my questions are:

-how does Serenity compare to a Lechner re. min / max wind range?
-how do you sail it on a broad reach / dead downwind without the retracting daggerboard ? (that's how Div2 boards are normaly sailed)

Thanks
