Dan Elliott Registered: July 2011 Location: Nashville, Tn. Posts: 2	This is my most recent wingsail catamaran model. After making two wingsails, and three sets of hulls I've managed to distill all I've learned into this 39"Hull, 48"Mast working wingsail. I'd be interested in any comments, as I live in a bit of a sailing bubble in Nashville.

Looks great, Dan! Are you using lifting daggerboards? I did an F48 rc cat with movable ballast-was a blast. Never tried a wing sail...... See the RC Multi thread under "Multihulls" on sailing anarchy. Not much crap on that particular thread....

And some interesting pictures from around the globe.

Dan,

This is a great small boat design. It has a lot of the same features of the AC45s. I'm planning to do something very similar for a class I'm taking at MIT.
