   Hmm .. By that same thinking Hector, Wouldn't a Moth be considered a trimaran? (or the older ones with wings that float)

	I believe the devide is that trimarans are designed to be sailed with at least one outrigger in the water at all times Someone (freddie dovosian??) built a moth with enlarged outer wing bars shapped like extra hulls a while back... it was outlawed due to being too trimarany but it is interesting where the line lays... What about the M4? (the moth rip off) It has outriggers not designed to be in the water all the time, but as it is designed as a 'peoples foiler' id immagine in inexperianced hands they would spend most of the time dragging anyway...

	not sure what you mean hector. it only has one hull!!! and wings does that mean a 49er is a trimaran? I am hoping to sail her again on sunday cant wait as it should be windy.

	I'm just messing really, as I don't really think it's a Tri. But to answer your point Bov, the difference would be when a wing becomes a 'float'. After all many Trimarans have what are really simple wings but with 'designed' flotation on the ends (unlike a 49er where the end of the wing is meant to 'never' hit the water). IE - if a 'definitions' puritan comes along and notices that when heeled a craft gets flotation/lift from the outer part of the Hull or Wing, that the part in the water appears to have been designed to be hydrodynamically efficient in that position, and to top it all, there's an air gap (as there appears to be in the photo), then why isn't it a Trimaran? But before you take my 'argument' too seriously, realise two things. One, I'm just back from the club/pub, and two, amongst other things, I sail a Vortex so what is percieved as a Tunnel Hull, Tri, Cat, Skiff etc has a particular interest for me. Edited by Hector

	Cracking footage Sten. I think the camera is lashed on the end of a Laser top mast which in turn has been lashed to the wing. Rick

	Awsome footage, makes you wish you had the money to get one not quite as bad as seeing 16 of them at your home club in a good force 5, then all leaving again without a go
