multiman,
thanks for personal attack...perhaps you had seen that i posted photos of my tri on this site...yes i have built them and sail them...
I said that perhaps you were slighty wrong by stating "YOU CAN ONLY AND SHOULD ONLY PUT THEM AT THAT MAXIMUM BEAM"...
clearly this is not the case when dicks boat measures 1100mm and others that i have measured are between that and 1050mm...
the question i was asking is what is the general concensus on beam...

perhaps you could post some photos of your boat....
