Mini40 multihulls future development route?!

http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_9841991/tm.htm

Since 10 years I´m pushing the development of rc-multihulls
and I found a lot of fellows with compareable aims.
Every now and then I also come across a person,
which doesn´t agree with my own attitude.
Whatever -...-
There are allways 5 to 10 times more persons that CAN agree to it!

The most active rc-multihull-community is still the german speaking fraction:
http://www.rc-network.de/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=166
Germans, Austrian and even Swiss fellows.
I also have to "confess" they banned me there, ´cause I couldn´t resist to tell them some uncomfortable truths about our hobby.
Again - whatever -...-

But by now there is a good amount of well designed, well built
and also well sailing trimarans on the water - especially of the Mini40 size.

But currently more persons are experimenting with catamarans lately.
Trends go to boats with single rudder and daggerboard,
while the boats are built as wide as the trimarans = 122 cm wide.

Currently the only relyable producer of rc-multihulls worldwide - of 65 cm multihulls and 122 cm multihulls - both cats and tris -
is Phanchita Supasirithanawat from Chonburi/Thailand with his very good site: www.rcsails.com or especially www.rcsails.com/multihulls.htm

All selfbuildingplans for free download on the web designed by me - Idealist -
as well as several designed by himself can be found at his site.

I have handed out all my plans to him - for free as well.
He´s the producer I can trust.

You also can find his buildlogs here in this great forum - and others -
under his nickname SIRI or SIRIT (still don´t know, what the difference is *g*)

More to come,
Idealist
