For a TT Door (=Slow speed), Can you estimate the loss in low end between aurora and a15? My friend has a speed2 15m dlx which was a killer in light winds (comparable to original Aurora v1 15m I would say), he wonders whether he will loose low end planning and how much with the A15, both in light cloth; currently he rides with the s2 15m with approx 7-8 knots ; I would say same waterstart & planning if not better, but minus 0.5 to 1 knots to stay upwind, right ? how much gain in top-end ?

I couldn't really say as the 22 and 18 are too different in size. My guess is the Aurora has slightly better performance than the same size A15 but less stable. If he likes the Speed 2 he should get the Aurora.
