Cost control is vital, hence my stand on carbon masts. But then carbon masts is a relatively well known technology. Adjustable T-foil rudders as seen on the I-14's and foiling Moth's are still relatively new technology with complex solutions. I can't even imagine what the control system for two controllable T-foil rudders would look like.. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
I am relatively relaxed on the matter, even if I keep on with my line of arguments, as I think this will be too complex for use.
If a working prototype came along and was clearly superior around the course, but at a cost above GBP£450, I would be among the first in the line of sailors pouring concrete into the bucket for their feet. That is, unless there was an option of homebuilding the same system at a reasonable cost. There is probably not a lot more to say about topic..
What I really dont like is suggestions about limiting the size of T-foils, again based on the fact that we dont know much about them.

Sorry, but I dont think my vote will be accepted. I only have a collection of parts for a boat yet, not a boat. We are going to strip plank the hulls, and the drawings for the stations have not been done yet. Got a sailnumber tough, NOR-25, and the budget is so small that it has slipped under the radar of my wife.
