    I've been concerned that since its taking so long on the WOLF project that someone may beat me to doing a small version of the Fire Arrow Foil System(the system used on most 100' trimarans-used first on the Fire Arrow).
    The critical elements are an adjustable lifting foil(capable of downforce) on the daggerboard, and a version of the TNZ foil on each ama plus at least one rudder t-foil.
    Other elements include the unique ,high dihedral ama hull / "curved piece" attachment with planing ama hulls.
    Please let me know if you run across anything like this under 20' LOA.

    One of the best 100' videos showing a system nearly identical to the Fire Arrow Foil System:

    Well,well,well! Wow,I'm back again....... I've had terrible trouble with my legs-need to use a wheel chair these days. I haven't been able to get any serious work done on the boat project but that may soon change. I may soon have wifi at the place I'm living-I sure miss being on line.
    Hope all of you are doing well......
    Merry Christmas!

    Hello Doug,

    I am sorry I am not sure how this site works all too well. I was hoping to get into contact with you on the T-18 boat you designed. I recently purchased one and would love to talk to you about the boat design if you are interested?

    Thank you!
