Zelda was a concept project for a client that wanted a fast day sailor with overnighting capabilities. A free standing rig would make it quick to get her on and off the wtaer. A semi rigid wing design was also developed. Unfortunately the project did not go ahead but I want to develop the pod into a motor boat design. 30-11-2013 I have put a little time into trying to change the pod into a motor boat but by Veeing the hull its character has changed and I think I have to start again.
I really like the Zelda,and I don't think it would necessarily have to be limited to a free standing rig. Pod Cats like that always make me wonder if the CP of the rig would be too high for safety, but a lower aspect ratio fathead fully battened rig might be alright. Cheers Paddy.
