Wise comments from an experience guy. It make me laugh that all the experienced guys come to the same conclusions. Managers making what they thing...
Maybe I would share another brief statement from my personal experience. I am one of this PhD specialist that has been exposed to everything from...

If there is a section which is an extrude (Maybe the middle) you can take a mould before you cut it in two. Then hopefully when you cutout in two...
A skier will not produce the forces mentioned above on the insider of a turn. He can barely ski if he is so far inside
It’s not a complete analysis for sure. In anycase a boat will lean into the turn, which is the opposite. If the boat does not lean into the turn...
Ok guys, let’s do some rough numbers. A big male pro skier can have ca 300-400kg line load. Old tow lines used to be rated at 450-500kg and used...
Ps: don’t use the post to tow boats etc for reasons mentioned by the other members. Especially at high power.
The boat looks nothing unusual. I struggle to understand how you ski in a turn to create an issue. Even during a slingshot, not sure if that is...
Mind you, There are plenty of overpowered or crazy boats out there. Perhaps a few photos might help. The comments above are ofcoutse all valid.

The wider the hull spacing the further back the mast needs to be when flying a hull or the upwind daggerboard is raised
I was the only one to reply. I explained where his thoughts were wrong. If he spends 5min trying to draw the vectors then it will become clear....
Just draw it.
Hi Paul, You need to think in 3D. Picture viewing from above. Draw the force vector on the sail and the leeward keel. Upright you will see that...
