Anyone close to getting one on the water yet, or even started building one.  If so lets see some pics.

My design is pretty much finalised, rig sourced, fittings sourced, main build material sourced bar the ply... only thing holding me back is a supply of cheep carbon tube and the fact I need to get the cherub on the water.

8' exists, what about 10'?

Having trouble defining an oppie as a skiff? According to many on this site a Laser 4000 doesn't qualify, even!

Defination of a skiff - fast, light, tricky to keep upright and stupidly overpowered..................

An oppie with a huge rig will fit all criteria! A 4 tonner just simply doesnt im afraid

Well no, it's definately not a "skiff", as it has less history than my coffee mug. I wouldn't even group it with the 49er, RS800, etc. which are "skiff like".

I could make some tube Andy and I probibly will but I dont want to use up my UD untill I have built my new boom and foils and know I have enough spare... and thats gonna be a while yet.

There are a couple of replicas and restored 10 footers still on the water today, sure a google search will find you some pics.
