The max. speed with the smaller boats compared to the 72's will probably be lower. Depending on the wind I suspect the winning boats will foil for most of the race. I love how spinnakers are no longer needed because the apparent wind is pulled well forward of the beam in almost all situations. The "new" boats make the racing more interesting. No longer, they that win the start, win the race.
