Does anyone know when the European Style Hulls will come to America? I heard they are stiffer and lighter than vanguard boats

OOP!... in Portsmouth, RI, not CT.
European Champion Laser RAdial Evi van Acker sails an aussie boat, and i heard her say once when she came back from miami how glad she was to sail her uk boat again, a month later she switched to ausie boats. so i guess there must be a difference
However, it would be great, if all the Laserites of TLF that join the races of Roses/ESP would be so kind, to share, here later on, their experience they have with the hulls of PSE compared to those of their continent (NA, AUS/NZL, JPN, South America), related to the question of differences (f.e. stiffness), thanks.
I suspect that in Roses we will all be sailing But I doubt there's ever been a regatta where you could really assess the performance of the US, UK and Australian boats side by side.
I suspect that in Roses we will all be sailing European boats. The Europeans will bring their own, and those of us from other continents will be using charter boats from Europe.
That's why it's so tough to get objective information on the differences between the boats made on different continents. The top guys get some experience sailing the boats on different continents and form their subjective opinions. But I doubt there's ever been a regatta where you could really assess the performance of the US, UK and Australian boats side by side.
Old Geezer,
"things go deeper". All I know PSE changed the hull construction, I guess in the beginning of the 90ties.
