I was silly and sold my 7m Turbo to have a 7.2m Moto . I used to have the Turbo for sailing in chop and an Overdrive for speed sailing.
I was hoping the Moto would do both. I find the Moto doesn't have the bottom end of the Turbo and the luff fills with water which makes uphauling and waterstarting in chop hard.
It's good for speed sailing but I'm wondering if buying an NCX would work for chop? Or another Turbo??
I like the grunt of the turbos on bearaways and their stability. I don't like the way the sail can catch the wind and get blown away ( cams) if you get ejected.
What are the NCXs like for gps speed on bearaways? I imagine that they are much more user friendly in chop.
They don't make Turbos anymore but I can probably get a custom one made .
Anyone sailed both? Thoughts?

Not related to your question, but curious. What size lines do you run ?. Do you use a seat harness ?. What's your height ?
