Too uncanny to be coincidence, copying Mr Willis' ideas:
Airfoil/Helideck forward, more thru hull nick-naks than you can shake a stick at....

One question - where are the sails?
Also, given the average size of water, your proposed design seems to be a bit too big to be used in the Gill Series, unless we make an exception and have the Forties as a venue....
One thing in its favour though is the distinct lack of a daggerboard - noone can winge about saviing a couple of kilos on displacement. Another worrying aspect seems to lie in the use of a motor as an (auxillary) method of propulsion...
Over to Mr. Aardvaark for his opinion.....

Maybe see everyone at the dinghy show if I'm back in the coutry...
