C Class Catamaran Design

For the first time ,that I am aware of, a C Class cat has been designed (built and flown)* with a single wand controlled main T foil and a single rudder T foil. It's been done by Team Invictus(UK).
*apparently not built and flown yet....
For those concerned about RM in such an arrangement , note the heel of the boat. Veal heel on a Moth can add up to 30-40% additional RM. For that to work on a cat you have to have enough altitude to heel way over to windward-and these guys seem to have it.

Look carefully at the picture and you can see both hulls and work out the wand, single daggerboard/main foil and single rudder:

 

Are you sure you don't mean "for the first time that I am aware of someone has done a drawing of a yet-be-built, yet-to-be-sailed and yet-to-be-flown C Class with Veal heel"?

 

Ja ja Doug,
sehr lustig.

Ever thought of giving back your driver's licence ?
Ever thought about goggles with glasses as thick as the bottoms of coke bottles ?

====================
You may be right-damn good render if thats what it is..... Off yer Rocker was probably the first C Class to try to use Veal Heel:

--------------------
Even assuming it's a render -it's a revolutionary new design with just a single wand controlled main T-foil and single rudder T-foil. You can't see that, Pogo??

 

C Class Design

Another C Class design from a guy in Southhampton, UK using rudder gantry's-apparently legal since Rocker used them but I don't remember the rule details:

This is what Steve Killing said about the rudder gantry's in his analysis of Rocker:
To gain adequate separation between the underwater
foils we added carbon “exhaust pipes” out the transom – a
stretch of the class rules, but technically legal as we read
them. Since the rudders hang off the back end of these
extensions they had to be stiff in bending and torsion.

 

C Class Design and Development

Here is an early sketch by Norman of Invivtus showing how the entire rig and foil system slide side to side to increase RM:

 

Groupama C for sale

According to Steve Clark on another forum:

Groupama C is for sale.
Frank is concentrating on the AC and shutting down the C Class program.
As I understand it, the chariot can be had for 400k euro.
So "beating Frank" isn't really the point.
Beating his boat is.

Beatings will continue until morale improves.
