Futura 122 - wood carbon vs wood

arild · 28th September 2010, 02:27 PM

Hi there.
I`m going for a Futura 122 and have ordered the wood carbon edition.
My sails are 7.5 - 6.5 - 5.5 and I`m 75 kg advanced.
Since, from what I understand, the wc 122 have a wood hull, what benefit will I have going for a wc istead of a wood edition?

Early planing?
Top end?

Best Regards
arild

Hi Arild,

The difference is about weight and stiffness due to Carbon use, this have an effect on the planning ability and acceleration, top end speed will be almost same but you will get top end speed faster.

Enjoy your board

All the best
