With you on that one
The magic is so small and fat that it has its own problems with every type of wind going, lights winds you want the weight faward to get the stern higher to reduced drag, lots of wind would have you move the weight to the stern to rise the bow, and so on
If you can keep the weight in the keel and hull and make the rig lighter you will keep the boat at a better sailing angle and not dump so much wind out of the sails, i think over in the Anything rules Ger, they use heavyer keel weights
Another thing that would make a diffrence in the real world is the bulb its self, having it pointing in anything other than perfect has alot of drag, to high on the front and in heavy gusts it just lifts the bow and dumps the wind outa the sails, to low and it just sinks the boat. This changes again with the light of the rig
If you can get your boat, from A to B in the short'st distance at an ok pace then you should win the race
Im sure Jon will agree that the best races we have done have been very small courses with a good few marks, it keeps it tight and close with lots of boats all over the place, and it makes all the boats on a par in that a lucky boat cant run 100 yards being in a better bit of wind, if you keep all the boats close they all have to use the same wind. On are lake each part can have wind going N, S, E, W lol or a full on 360 at times
As a fun boat that can be played with and chucked in the car i duno if it can be beat
