New Canting keel 'Open 1 metre'- Maiden test sail

Here is the the end of a long road... This yacht concept was started Dec 07!...But I have been way too busy to finish her. At every step it has been about weight saving to the extreme. There has been very little tune up done for the sail as I just wanted to test the boats overall performance and balance.
Stats:
All up weight as seen in the video - 2.7kgs.
L.O.A. 995mm.
100% Carbon pre-preg hull, fins, mast.
Bulb 1000g only. (Tungsten Bulb to be fitted.)
60 degree keel canting angle & 30 degree canting canard.
2 winches and 1 servo, but soon to have 1 more for the new aft water ballast tanks.
