Well done GRF, looks like all your effort has finally paid off.  It’s certainly quite an achievement to engineer a new hull design concept.  Hopefully the results will also prove fruitful.   It’s something we're all dying to see on the water. 

One comment, without knowing your 3d dynamic modeling results, the front seems to be designed more like a RIB than a displacement sailing hull.  I'm sure that this would be fine for off wind but I suspect it would suffer when facing waves since it would not cut through them very effectively and may also affect sideward drag and weather helm.  I say this since you emphasised the intention to get good performance upwind.  I know its a little late in the day now, but the photos of the complete boat give a much better picture when compared the the 3d models.  I don’t profess to be any sort of expert in the field of boat design but its just something I thought you may not have considered or could study if you decide to develop the design further after testing.

I see your point about maybe making the gap wider but that would probably effect buoyancy and require a longer hull or wider beam, thus increasing the weight (for those who are weight conscious!).
