Seems my boys are shy when it comes to getting an account here so Ive been substituted in their place. This is a partial list of things they think they want, some I agree with, some I don't, but their reading skills are good enough to know if I leave anything out <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> These are in no order, just pages of stuff Ive been asked to sort through.
sails, they want to be able to use windsurfer rigs so they can match the sail to the conditions (probably because we have several windsurfers that they can utilise)
John mentioned thats its easier to plug in a windsurfer rig horizontally than a sail on a mast into a tube (probably higher than he is right now) in any wind.
Boards mean point and you always have to win, no matter who you sail against or when.
Reverse bows are just "sharp" <= cool> plus a lot of the A-Class have them
the mast brace can use the hawaiian boom clamp for a windsurfer rotated down 45 degree (had to look that one up)
end extensions for a windsurfer boom can be used for variable rake with different sails (on the braces)
braces can be mounted on hull with additional windsurfer mast steps
the above means you can rig the boat in wind and then just pull the rig up into the brace clamp
they want adventures, like sailing to some of the local islands to camp (haven't agreed to this yet) and want to be able to take the mast down easily, or the sail (something they can't do with the PT, mast that is)
Rig you can take down is good in emergencies, not something that is easy with a pocket luff sail
OK, enough for now, you get the idea that they haven't stopped thinking for the past 3 days
