I believe Marstrøm buildt an all carbon T once. I seem to remember a weight of 97 kilos, but might be way off

The carbon T has a Texel rating, and can race in texel rated events.

The Tornado class rules has some provisions for 'experimental' boats. It would not get a score if allowed to start at an ITA event..

I dont see why a carbon/kevlar T should not be allowed to race in open events if it has a handicap number ?

Carl: Thanks for the clarification. I understand that I have much to learn about wood construction yet. Great fun tough.

Stephen: I have asked this on the ITA forum already, but.. I belivel Marstrøm sells an all carbon selftacker setup. Ie. track and traveller car is carbon. Is it room for this within the Tornado rules ? As my selftacker is in pretty bad shape, I would like to build a new carbon selftacker and fit on my Marstrøm.
What do you think ?

If Phill Brander reads this, it would be very interresting to get some ideas about how you made the carbon tubes for the rudder setup on your site. Specifically, how did you do the layup of epoxy/carbon in the mould and what kind of bag did you use.

To finish this totally off topic posting off, how on earth do Marstrøm build those M-20's without seams ??
