Swift Solo Class Web Page

You all know how I feel about my boat and the class as a whole. We now have a class website. It is still in its infancy and will be chaning frequently so come back and come often. There are links to various things related to the Swift Solo and articles by current owners.

If you have constructive ideas, I'll pass them on to the webmaster.

There is still a lot of work to be done. Everyone working on this site and the content are working to feed the need for parts and building their boats at the same time so be kind. :D

Site looks nice.

Has the SS achived International status now? (I don't see it listed on the ISAF site)

Interesting point. The class is sailed or building in 15 countries, and the association is for all those people. So it isn't a North American association, it is an International one. Can the ISAF claim sole useage of the word "International"?

Love the pics of the beaches...oh well, back to concrete slipways on Sunday!

Hey TeamFugu... whats the size of the sail plain on the Swift Solo, can't
see it anyhwhere?

@Jack Sparrow:
These numbers are just about official, give or take some rounding:
Boat: 14 ft 4 in = 4.37 meters
Main: 103 (sq feet) = 9.57 sq meters
Jib: 52 (sq feet) = 4.80 sq meters
Spin: 250 (sq feet) = 23.23 sq meters
Total Sail Area: 405 (sq feet) = 37.63 sq meters

@Guest#260, Rupert:
I'll get the class president to look into this, and get you a better answer.
One thing I think I can say is that we are actively working with both the
Australian builders/sailors and the Canadian builders/sailors to get there
national class associations up, and ratified. This should help further
support the International Swift Solo Class Association better govern the
class rules with input from all nations active in the boat. And not just the
Americans. Ill try to get a bit more information, and pass it on here.
Perhaps a bit more eloquently as well.
