I seem to recall the few flush deck 17's were custom built, tricked out racing sleds. That included a taller mast (more sail with a high aspect rig), and more sail controls. Hard to imagine Jerry doing something like that. Well....maybe not. On Oct 13, 2006, at 11:07 AM, Sailfan1 wrote:

Very interesting and thanks. And I agree with you regarding the flush deck model. Anyone out there have an understanding of design that can shed some light? I'm fairly sure both 17' models would have the same hull so it's difficult to understand how only aerodynamics could have such an impact.
