Eric when you sailed out to alligator light in the steeple chase and exploded no one thought they would see you again . Nice boat though is there a comission on the sales ? Delray has a private sales company one day your boats are moved around next day its sold like a commercial on night owl cinema with Big Wilson at the piano . Are you moving to the Bladef16 before they change the hull design?
The explosion was minor.(nascar voice) I was comin' round turn two, the sh*t started gettin' a little loose and then jus blowed up! I don't know what happened. Nothing ended up broke or crooked, driver and crew are fine.
Cyberspeed would be very intersted in the 20 as your choice and that would make a fine wedding present to boot.The 22 is a step up though. But I do not watch Cnn to much, I did'nt know the reason for the boat culling.
The beams are 12 foot. You can probably get them from Aquarius-Sail.com or you can make them. It looks like mine are aftermarket made from aluminum tubing with another piece of plastic tubing on one side to make it fit. Yours probably won't need the other tube because your boat was not designed to telescope.
I talked to Bill Roberts about your boat and it seems that the main problem with your boat are the sails were cut down because the guy that owned it before you wanted to de power it. It will even be more evident if you make the boat wider because it will need the extra power for the wider beam.
Just remember that when you get the wide boat with solid beam you will have to completely disasemble and reassemble the boat to get it on the trailer. We have it down to about 2 hours set-up. It is a lot more work but for me it is worth it.
I have a second set of hulls that I want to build up to leave it on the beach. The second boat will be for racing only.
