anyone tryed hydro foils?


I think there is a secret building mission in Wales, but as the chap that
could be building them does things that are top secret in the day time, he
doesn't have access to things like this web forum. As soon as we have
Cherub lift off you can be sure that every one will know.

I believe an arrangement on those lines is currently popular in the 16ft skiffs. You'd have to have a very high floor to make it self draining in a Cherub.

No rules about centre/dagger boards. All the modern ones have daggerboards.

Draft: Do you mean how deep in the water is the tip of the board? If so, then it varies from boat to boat. There aren't any rules about the length of the board. Ours is to my waist (I'm 5'9'').

Hope that helps. Is this an 'inland waters' question?
