one of the problems with the "topcat" is you wont be able to sail it at chew cause of the no multihulls rule

Yeah!! I'm not sure about the bra size/mast cup size thing!! I know all about bra sizes, but I know nothing about mast cup sizes!!  I reckon foils is much better cos although the top cat is a crazy idea, the hulls would be to wide - there would be sooooooo much friction!! What do you think??! (Oh and, of course I'll get rid of some pm messages, ta)!!

make the mast cup bigger, do the cup sizes come as the same as bra sizes?

Needs to sail more...

Oh yeah, whatever granite.... !!

Hey ed, waverider, I reckon we should write up a list of what we want to change and all that jazz!! Oh, and I had a look for a cheapy topper and the cheapest was £275 argh!!!  - That would be just under £100 each and that's loads! I can't do that... I quite like the topcat idea though...two hulls and then you could have a rudder system that connected to the centre (and I won't shut up now )....
