Me too! All I could find were videos, not close ups or still detail pics.

Do you have a link for Dave Clark and Machete, I have searched but could not locate anything.

Made a movie starring a really ugly guy?

Sorry, I'll get my coat and go have a look.

I can see me ending up with one of those IC things I've always been fascinated by them, but always get put off by the anoraks at the dinghy show, they're so weird you get the feeling you'll get sucked in, they'll whisk you off to some alien planet and conduct experiments on you, that is if their autism ever lets them engage with the unwashed.

So for now I shall have to make do with what has been christened an 'IC for hobbits' by one of the Miracle wags, whose arse I am going to beat in it if I die in the attempt.

Good idea those swivel seat things, has anyone ever managed to make a working self centering thing you kick out with you and it returns if you bend your knees?

I always think an interesting modification if one only wanted a small increase in righting moment would be the little folding winglets they use on some continental Canoe classes like the German Taifun. They're often hinged or pivoted and fold into the boat, and don't create too much disturbance when heeled.

The nice thing about a pukka sliding seat, of course, is that there's nothing on the leeward side.

This seat "could slide", approx' 200mm either side of centre, 
you could do a slight modification to your design which would allow same movement that you are getting with plank.
The seat on mine is tortured to increase curve of original plank, (which is underneath).
The Mainsheet block and Kicker is fixed to same bracket, under boom.
I have no difficulty pulling boom with 4to1 sheeting.
The attachment is further forward than is normal, but I could not find another way to keep it out of the way.
The latest mod I am doing is to angle clamcleats, they are a pain to use at the moment, slightest fumble adjustments gone.
