Hugo Boss has a higher number of more complicated shapes dragging through the water at one time than on a Hobie 16 or A-Cat. I'm not suggesting...
Sorry for the late reply. The plan is to be in NYC late Fall of this year.
Probably from same hull mould as Expresso, which is here on the Gulf Coast. One of the big 1/4 Tonners at 27 feet LOA. Good boat in breeze, but...
Great looking design. Masthead or fractional rig?
That is the goal, yes. First thing in order however is a new, slightly taller, mast and new sail plan.
I cannot. That was a journalist's use of "fly" as in "haul butt". I didn't write it or publish it, but will have it corrected so nobody thinks...
Agreed Rob. The ability to weathervane the main in a squall brings a lot of security to a multihull. I was really responding to the Sydney...
Yeah, I came on that while sailing a mini which uses bolt rope + full battens. Downwind that means locked out. However, when racing you don't...
How are there no other options for reefing? The only time I've seen boats bear away from upwind to reduce sail was on Open 50's and 60's, to furl...
Steve, I've looked around quite a bit, and from what I've been told by Selden and US Spars, nobody is making aluminum wing masts in the US. The...
Nope. It's probably me just going on what I've heard. Your numbers could be spot on.
Disclaimer: I'm working on another project, and have no skin in this game, but I like the conversation. Hi Gary, I wasn't suggesting a Mini...
That's probably a good way to look at it with the 8.5m's success. I wouldn't go so far as requiring a porta potty though, considering my...
It may be mentioned somewhere, but is this concept for a box rule or a one design? A racer with camp-ability have more appeal to people with...
You should be proud hump. I know it's thread divergent, but do you have any other images? I love how it looks. Like a big stick-bug.
Are you thinking open boat or with cabin ish?
You could use your shrouds with a rotating mast, as long as you don't have a sail that overlaps them, and if you could keep them from rotating....
True, but not on a rotating mast.
Abandon ship! This thread has become another soap box for Doug Lord. Kidding of course Doug, but I was more interested in the feedback rcnesneg...
Scissors is a beautiful and very refined boat. I saw it last year as a small regatta in Florida, where he was racing handicap against a mixed...
