Hmm, I'm probably at a loose end on Friday afternoon, might grab the camera & head down the beach to catch a glimpse of the basking shark in action.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: it makes no difference what you think of GRF's opinions or his boat, the fact remains that he's had the balls to put his time & money on the line and do it. For that I applaud him. Though the temptation is always there I'd advise the more infantile naysayers to refrain from pointing & laughing, if it works you'll look mighty silly.

Yeah and its already boring.  Mindless trolling is very dull - at least have something insightfull to say. It is the school holidays and now the looting is over then I guess this person has to do something to ocupy his/her/its time!
 
GRF - good luck. Having the balls to put your money where your mouth is, is highly comendable. Really looking forward to seeing how it turns out. I'm a massive fan of going fast without having to hike my a~~e off. Thats why I bought a cat and your building your own! LOL

If anyone can now jump on something that will be pretty much the fastest thing on the water you can sail single handed sitting down, other than a Canoe which I'm told are not that easy..
And you can do it without looking an idiot or falling in the water all the time and that quite literally is anyone reading this old or young, how can that not be cool?


yeah but this bloated topper isn't it ... you should have built a cat if those were your goals.
 
 
Anyone know how I can personally block posts from a user on this forum - 8 posts in and I am already sliding on past his B/S - may as well not have it listed in the first place

If I had gone down this route then I would have steered towards a design far more like Andy patersons single hander being discussed last year. It looked the business and I'm sure it was a hiker with wide wings. Just the hull was more in line with logical thinking compared to the funboat/fireball/vortex hybrid...

From what I have read of our dear grumpf then I think he's more likely to be wearing a borat style mankini.....
Of course with a trendy kite surf dakine label on it somewhere....
