    Hi Doug, all I know is what is posted on my website (Worlds Most Radical Boat Designs) homepage - http://foxxaero.homestead.com/newsplash.html and in the particular page dedicated to the Windjet Team posted in the previous post. I haven't corresponded with Richard for a couple of years, but I have been looking forward anxiously to the revealing of his boat design. I am a little concerned with the reversed three-point configuration their team has decided upon and suggested a different configuration, but hey, what do I know? Will just have to wait to see the unveiling of their final design. Cheers

    Russ

    i'm not one of those hating eighter sail or motor boats, i love them both

    i admit the swath trike is behind scedule, the legs are done but other things -our sundancer not beeing the last- are coming in between. dont think a sail will work well on a swath but am looking into alternative clean propulsion like
