Sail a 12, it means almost no rules and therefore you don't have to dream about it. Its allowed. But maybe a 14ft long 12fter |

Id agree with that totaly... I cant wait to see how Andys boat goes upwind (and the rest of the way around the course actualy) sat on the tfoil with that sexy camber rig. Huge rigs with insane kites definantly have their place but trying to mix the two aspects of efficiency and brute power together is plain messy IMO |

A couple of thoughts on my thoughts...
On putting a stayed f/b rig on an RS300. Obviously other people's mileage varies, but I was very strongly considering buying one last year, but the rig is for me most off putting. In the end the Development Canoe proposals came out, and that is very much to my taste. I think putting a big kite one one is somewhat defeating the object - to my way of thinking the IC has always been somewhat minimalist - narrowest hull, very moderate sail area, a rapier, not a broadsword, and putting a big kite on doesn't quite match. More elegant by far to have a boat that hardly needs one. |

Now that you mention it, I do have a 12 foot hull laying about somewhere....
Doesnt come much lighter either... all non-essential componants have been stripped. footloops, hatch covers, blocks, cleats, foredeck, spaceframe, paint.... |
