>>I was suprised you made no mention of the Ventilo Zipo (
http://www.ventilo.ch)or Mattia Dynacat and all those photos on your website.
That is because I partly forgot about then but also because if I had remembered then I would not have used these as they have still to proof themselfs.
Up till now I haven't seen any of these being listed in a the race result of any regatta. They are quite new indeed.
>> Have you any news as to how these are performing in races, or are they still too new to have any numbers on the scorecard?
I think so. I also found that people interested in them were in doubt about wether to go for them or not. That is people that contact me about them, they eventually went for a more conventional design.
>>How about putting the url to the photos up so we can get some comments from other people including Bill Roberts.
See beginning of the post.
Bill and others have been discussing planing designs many time before however.
