Since you’re into building something innovative and you’re all for latest technology why not try a wing sail such as that being used on the int. moth.  This would float in a capsize.  You could also try filling parts of it with foam to add buoyancy.

I like to take pictures of sailing, but I'd rather be sailing!

Maybe the logo design is taking longer than anticipated.

Oh get real people. A serious development program of something brand new takes bloody months unless you have full time pros and the backing of a large company. Because I was doing it out of my own pocket and my own spare time I spent *years* working up my PlusPlus, although I did mix a fairly serious Cherub campaign in the middle.

Jim Please quit it with the Patronising sh*t, I am fully aware of development programmes.  They were some of the main reasons i didn't see as much of my Dad as i would of liked when i was younger.  But part of the Joy about Graemes prject has been listening to his ideas.  I am just trying to egg him into posting something....

Also is graeme not using a commercial builder, which at a guess would be developing this for some kind of profit.  Therefore i would hope pushing Graeme along slightly....?

I agree with Ruscoe, this is practically an online project in which every progress made, be it little or large, is interesting to follow and 'contribute' to.
