Interesting I did read that the famous Ian Farrier had mentioned that his F9AX, the extra wide waterline version, might be slightly faster than...
Salut Philippe! Interesting design. I'm a total amateur, but would share a couple of thoughts if you don't mind. 1) The cockpit looks like a...
Because constructive critisism is about the best you can give anyone. In my opinion, if not directly rude, it is actually generous and shows...

I think it's low weight comes from the fact that it's basically a supersized windsurfer. Thin laminates not for banging around (guessing), and...
Hi! Carbon can be pretty cheap these days. Factor in that you'll need less weight and less epoxy. 9oz, 300g/sqm should be pointy. If you calculate...
Thank you! Very interesting article, and exactly what I was looking for.
