rig factor over 2 spreader would be approximately 1pt (so 3.6secs/hours), however back when TPs still had 2 & 3 spreader rig in the fleet consensus was that 3 spreader gave more control & options (but a little harder to set up initially).
Modern models allow for faster/easier work done so setting up is not as big a deal but still has the tube control advantages. This is especially important when incorporating masthead/fractional sails and sails set inside of it. So triple header is generally a bit easier to control on a three over a two spreader. There would not have been a real weight difference for them (3 spreader can be lighter tube but has more fittings), generally VCG is fractionally lower for higher spreader numbers.
For boats <45ft, the panel lengths generally are short enough to not consider 3 spreader rig and the 1 pr on a lower rating obviously will have a bigger impact.

Not surprised it is fast. Personally, I think it looks cool.
Carkeek is a bullshitter though. In 2020, he lied to my face then flaked out after encouraging my partner and I to fund his first catamaran. (two are in build).
About two weeks ago, I was contacted by a former design partner who worked on this Ino Noir project (and others). He claimed to be owed €23,000 for design work. He forwarded emails to support his claims.
Carkeek uses people. He doesn’t design, pay his bills, or live up to his promises. Fuck him. I look forward to seeing him.
Nice boat.

Excuse-moi. Guy wishes to know if Mrs. Shaun is available for aventures avec Guy?
The next owner just wants a boat that will get him to Mackinac in time for dinner.Maybe they get "Turbo'd" by the next owner. I think that's what happened to this one:

Happened to be in Cowes today. It doesn’t look any less unusual on the hard stand.

Is it fast?
It wins under IRC. Not necessarily the same thing.
Given the keel position it looks like they had a late change of heart and moved the rig back another 500 mm ;-)
