A normal fully battened catamaran sail has the same issues in light winds so I don't really see that as problematic.

Posts: 5,558 Key Largo, FL & Put-in-Bay, OH... | I seem to remember some guys working on a design that would be alike the named F12, with a unstayed rig as used on landyachts and laser-1. I still think that setup to be a great cheap laser-alike version for the cats but far better looking. I hope its development will get continued at some time. So is the picture from the "some guys"? That's the way I originally took it. And again, what is your web site address? | | | Re: Youth Recreation Trend

Both guys had been busy with that ever since. And again, what is your web site address?
I haven't made one yet. Currently it is just a directory opened up to the public so now site adress exists.I'm still trailling behind on my to-do list. Wouter

Posts: 1,187 38.912, -95.37 | So, Flatlander18, that design drawing that you put with your original post was actually Wouter's? Ya, whoa, hey, hey. I'm a half decent cut and paster, eh? When Wouter posted that drawing in "The perfect world for beach cats" it kept haunting me and prompted "Youth Recreation Trend". My sincerist apologies to anyone who thought I was capable of producing the drawing or concept. Next time I'll post via a link for proper indentification and credit. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> I was on a mission to dump the thoughts out of my head on to the forum, SORRY!!!
