There was a lot of discussion regarding design and build technique for a model one over on an English forum.
I'll go and drag up the threads and see if I can link them here.
I don't know what Umi had deleted but we'll see if mine can stay.

Try this link.

If that fails then PM me and I'll hook you up with it.

I have a lot of interest in this boat as it was built locally here in NZ.
It is also a hull form that has alway fascinated me as so few people get the type description correct.
At worst it is a trimaran, it is actually a Stabilised Mono-hull. This is a design that is well proven for circumnavigation records.
The Nigel Irens designed Cable & Wireless adventurer was the same design type and held the record prior to Earthrace.

I have had a play with a concept hull of this type that was used to trial a few design ideas. It was air-prop powered too !!

I will follow your progress on this one and help out where I can.
