Well, it has to be said that I'm not particularly a big fan of the Arc's from Peter Lynn generally, they've always seemed to spongey, a bit lazy, and pretty underpowered even for their projected size...
But my mind can be changed. I've flown Angus' 16m Venom before in some decent winds, and it was, to say the least, a bit hairy because of the gusts, but still lacked that edge you get from most de-powerable foils (eg. the Speed I also flew the other day... thats another story). Unusually though we were blessed with some directly onshore, smooth 15-18mph winds the other day at Stevenston and Grahams 16m Venom 2 was flying beautifully, boosting pretty darn big considering the wind, and all the time it was still easily in the realms of comfort.
