Title: F*in Boat Mk2

Too uncanny to be  coincidence, copying Mr Willis' ideas:

Airfoil/Helideck forward, more thru hull nick-naks than you can shake a stick at....

Happy new year to everyone, and congrats to Caroline on her bloody mary result.

Tim.
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.....
