Tests were inconclusive; not much wind and though we swapped skippers between races (The Hadron, I-14, and a Vanguard V15), the same skipper won,I was second in all, my mate Brad third. Still I reckon in a decent breeze the Hadron will come out tops. Certainly the most fun to sail - ergonomics, trim etc. work well.
