The Snapdragon built is moving along. The main hull is complete- no deck or internals yet. and I've set up the forms to begin planking the first float. I have decided to alter the crossbeams and go to a molded CF reinforced curved beam, versus the straight CF tubes on the plan. I am also going to angle the floats up slightly, versus having the decks at the same elevation. I will be going to a curved deck profile at the bows which will get faired out as it moves aft. This should give it a little more forgiveness if it buries. I'm also laying out the sailplan and rigging details. I'm planning on using a profile similar to my USOM with a B rig sized jib (30%) and a larger more powerful main. It should come in around 1100 sq ins or thereabouts. It should be ideal as it will get sailed predominantly in the lighter winds that we have here. Mini40 - I wouldn't mind getting a look at your latest Nightmare plans/sketches to see were the design ideas are evolving in this class. I've seen photos of the earlier versions and I like the overall look of the design. You can reach me at [email protected]. I'll post some photos of the build as soon as I get a chance.
