My New 55" Offshore racer
The boat comes directly from the workbench, but to be the first time in the water, I am very satisfied.
Certainly there are a lot of work to do on the settings, to get a really good boat, but it feels really good.
There is a buoy in the left part of the lake which is not visible in the "water mirror" so I can not go flat out.

Hej Janne, looking good and riding nicely
How does it compare to your Sigma? Didn't know they were producing Faluga hulls again but I suppose a Naviga WC gold (even if it was the larger 155 hull) is a good incentive.

BUT then its over powered (in my set up).
Now I have a Mod RCMK S254 in my Sigma51 and that is okay, but i cant get the same top speed.
To answer your question.
I prefer the Faluga hull, it is more predictable and feels very safe to drive.
Yes is a guy in Stockholm, does the Faluga hulls again. (but in a narrow scale)

A pic from the boat´s first race (and mine to).
I guess it wasnt the best race to do the debute in, but it was realy fun.
Had to lead down the hull with 3.2 pounds, to not be airborne all the time.
But! It was like flying without wings anyway
