    Looking at the deck plug photo, it looks like the shape of the hiking wings has been refined, to allow a little more fore and aft flexibility, well done. I still think you have quite a big cliff to fall off if you are hiking at the extreme forward end, but can't wait to see the finished prototype sending it.

    great to see photos of the boat sailing. I hope videos were taken at the same time

    is it the camera distortion, or does the mast invert with the spi up?

    keep us posted

    Very interesting design - perhaps needs a small chord wing mast to make a less twisty rig.

    The mast looks inverted to me too.

    Are there two different mainsails?

    Any video of it overtaking that Laser?

    The toestrap setup looks horrible

    Congratulations Doug!

    It will be interesting to see how it handles choppy conditions on the nose.

    That's where the wave piercing bpw should really show its stuff.
