C2 is having a top notch debut, AHPC should be very proud after all that work. The Aussie factory was one of the contenders in performance and quality against the big ones for years, Hobie and Nacra ( Ford and Gral Motors of beachcats) , they showed the way with their Cap, now they are closing the F18 design evolution cicle since Cap days to give both giants another run for their money.
