Just got the new issue of Pro Boat and there are several very interesting articles:
www.proboat.com
1) Flexsys-flexible "morphing wings". I was interested to find out that their only marine projects are on the C Class and Moth! see page106 ,"New Materials from Aerospace".
--
2) SRW(semi Rigid Wings)- a sail developed by the Johnston Brothers in Australia and being tested on the K8 Sportsboat. Again, these guys are also working on A Class Cat and Moth projects. See page 15 &16 under "K8 Unit".
--
3) This really interests me because I am actively looking at how to finance a 14'-16' prototype of my Fire Arrow Foiling Trimaran. Detailed article on crowd funding applied to building prototype boats. See "Fund My Boat", page 98.
