It could an should sail fine for a cat race. But unlike a normal sail rig the geometry gives the wing more heeling power when it heels more. But i...
Maybe it works better with a short mast i will have to try this out. But to keep heeling force as low as possible i start with in essence no...

This OTIP looks quite similar to the Aeroskimmer. Should work very good but with a good gust it's not safe. The force vector that i would like to...
I will share about my crazy idea :-) Yes it is intended for a foiler. But not a standard configuration. My idea is to have a monohull but you...
I want to build a 11m mast for my boat (mini650 454) I'm posting this here because in the monohull section there is not much talk about wingmasts...
Could be a nice experiment. Simon Koster sailing the 888 eightcube removed them from his boat. I did not hear why but he must have a reason to do...
Canting masts are lethal when they are canted the wrong way, and like foils they probably do basically nothing when you're in a knockdown and...
Correction it was 8 knots not 5. Sorry, my bad. But it would still mean that foiling would be possible for most of the 2nd leg of the transat....
The DNA performance TF 10 claims such numbers. But i check my source maybe i did not remember correctly. At least below 10 knots. I know just...
But he got beaten by a pogo 3!! But yes the scow bows dominate. I'm guessing that the combination light narrow boat with foils makes better sense...
Ouch, my french language is so bad it hurts. But nice to read! Sadly we can't see the interview without subscribing. Ah and the foils can extend...
I guess the daggerboard allready solved the accomodation problem :). If you wanted to make a mini out of this the daggerboard has to be a keel...
From what i read on different fora it stayed in port in La Rochelle for some years. It proved to be fast but had to be developed more and that...
If you can make the length to beam ratio more than 8 wave drag becomes less and less obvious and wetted surface is king. So a narrow long monohull...
That would be a question? What's the speed you want to design for? A narrow hull has a more gradual transition from below hull speed to above hull...

Is it sailing??
This one, [IMG]
I think the DSS style mini of Hugh Welbourn could maybe taken to a more extreme approach. The mini rules are expanded to a 6,5 meter beam with...
