Hi martno1fan,As all our ideas etc. are common to multihulls and sometimes mono hulls,I agree they should be open for all to have a look at,but ongoing ideas are not an option.I agree with Dick
that they are not aesthetically a boat to swoon over,and in England we did find quite a lot of,even agro from some of the rc fraternity sailing monos.Well yeah we did cause havoc at the beggining.
Like failing to complete a tack in front of the fleet,or capsizing at the start line!!!?[:-].Now we just sail clear of them,as we very rarely do that kind of thing.But we still do not have anybody interested
in the simple idea.I think Dick wants a simple multi designed as a multi,that can be raced as well.The only thing I would like to see is, give it every chance of being developed and keep restrictions down to a minimum.When I see rules applied to a rigidly controlled rig,saying things like,
You cannot hook this to the top of mast or mast crane,it must have a proper hole drilled in the mast to take it because it may allow the boat to gain 5mm in fourteen point three years under perfect condition.I weep Just think how much you loose by one bad tack!!'nuff said.Yes I will try and pass on bits of info,but as to designing a multihull of good performance I will leave that to the designers,I don't have any software to help me and I would rather go sailing in summertime.
