V Twin

If any of you have actually tryed to design a boat- dinghy or yacht you would realise just how hard it is,
its the reason why the john corbys jason kerrs and phill morrisons of this world arnt all over the place,

so if grf has come up with somthing that he believes has filled his design criteria then good on him. designing is hard hense why you pay alot of money to the designers,
but thats what its about designing to meet the spec,

Still ill be interested to see how it points? and how gybing will be as im guessing it will slow down in the gybes and load up but i may be wrong,
whats the all up weight?

Originally posted by fab100 Call me paranoid though, but I can only foresee that if progress continues apace, grf is going to become so unbearably smug with this new justification to sl*g off the rest of dinghy sailing - and that would spoil it.

of course that is what will happen and he'll never pony up to the Tiger Trophy or Bloody Mary rather choosing to hide away in the armpit of the UK and post on here his latest tales for his forum fan club ...

I shouldn't be suprised if the boys running the forum could tell you: you can learn a lot looking at posting times and ip addresses of different users...

Many years ago I was seeking to quietly defuse a big flame war that was developing on a forum at work so I used the admin tools to identify who the two parties were so I could have a quiet word with them without involving line management. I discovered that both parties were in fact the same person. Nowt so queer as folk...

Hi Seamonkey,

No worries, I suppose on handicap yes. But that really doesn't mean anything if the two sailors are of different abilities.  I always found the 300 brilliant on a small lake, the excelleration is blinding.  It is fast on all points of sailing.  Its just a shame they are so mentally expensive new and are not properly marketed in any form now.  But thats a whole different story.  I am biased as its by far and away my favourite single hander.  Anyway the V-twin....
