Shockwave F18 warming up

by · Published · Updated


Too much talk about the Wildcat right now, justified though, but we’ll have a 2nd brand new F18 at Belguim Worlds this year. The Loday/White Shockwave.
Watch out for them, hope they can get a good team of boats so we can verify the performance of the (till now) ‘underground’ F18.
My prediction is that the Shockwave will surprise many at the Worlds.

UK Worlds qualifying results at Datchet Cat Open:
1st Rob Wilson & Ed Barney (Shockwave/ North Sails)
2nd Hugh Styles & Greg Windle (Nacra/ Performance Sails)
3rd Sam Newton & Ben Newton (Tiger/ North Sails)
