What Javier Soto Acebal's boats do well
Javier Soto Acebal has 22 designs in this archive, drawn between 1995 and 2022 for 10 different yards, from 7 metres to 19: a pencil that has worked at both ends of the sport.
The boats here have a recognisable way of going: they come alive in the middle of the range. In a proper breeze nearly all of them make back more than their rating asks, while the drifting hours are not where they shine.
The Soto 33 of 2011 is the most efficient design here, with a Race Edge of 99 — it is in the middle and the heavy that it makes the difference, turning the old pattern over.
Still drawing: the most recent design here is from 2022.
