it looks like a laser /fireball from the side view, but then the others give the game away.  How wide is it - do you need two rudders?

They already exist. They're called motor boats. The real fun of sailing dinghies is in the challenges they present. Get rid of the challenges and you make it boring to sail.

Hi Graham
At present it looks like the love child of a vortex and fireball.
I am sure once tweaked it will be fine.Good Luck.
Regards

Got my first Cad renders today, they'd been in the junk mail since yesterday hopefully not trying to tell me something..

I'm amazed Dan managed to even render anything sensible from the kids scrawl I gave him.





It's getting exciting now, even have some performance readings which at this stage are not good, it's a little too fat, I shall run this thread as it happens, be an interesting insight into how boats get developed


Don't take anything from this other than it's now in a computer and can be messed with before pushing the build me a proto button. I think at this stage I'm just going to build a hull and fit my RS10.4 rig to it, see if the additional righting moment might give me the ability to use it in over 8 knots.
