Par if you keep giving me such frank and fearless advise I'll have to get you to send me the bill! Here's an update with the mast and CB moved...
Thanks guys. You've had me thinking about my own design brief and what I'm actually trying to achieve. While I've been thinking about...
With my inclination toward disestablishmentarianism I do tend to look for the minority opinon on such matters. Seems I'm not the only one:...

Tom and Par Those last posts are gold. I think the lights are going on. The fantasy physics in my head were about the exact opposite of...
Ahh B/L Hmmm it is fat isn't it. (Especially compared to what I consider desirable performance like the Goat Island Skiff:0.321 or Pheonix...
