This is my 3 man Trapeze Boat.
Well i havnt put the twin wires on yet as i have only had her for two months. Just making the fitting at work this week. I am Planing on making it a mast head kite as well with top spreaders to re-enforce the mast I have a lot of work to do to make it sail well in light winds.(My main sport is kitesurfiing which happens in 18 knots +) It has a lead keel so when you capsize(knock down) you only have to wait 8 seconds and she pop up again by her own accord. First on the list is to repair the rudder cam as the rudder keep popping up at high speed as you can see in my first video i made on a day when no one else was out, for a good reason. Boat budget under £4000 to be finish next spring.

On that day we had to come back after my crew noticed a wing had some damage.
They are not meant to be that far out. I am looking for some stronger alloy tubeing. Its a lot more fun sailing with an extra person or two )

That looks great fun!
 What's it like in lighter airs though? Combining posts..... how about an Inter-Club Breeze Series?

There arnt many Breeze's around as only 150 where built 100 going the sunsail or club med i think.
. White formula has just built a new one using vacuum technology as i bought the old one. It sail ok in light winds but i do most of my sailing in sub 1o knots so i need to pimp her up. also making thinking of increasing the roachin the main to a fat head.

Is the SK4 16 foot? I think it's quite similar to the Rebel, and what I'd come up with would be a fair bit different, not that big a fan of the Rebel after seeing it a few times.

I'd want to go at least 16 foot, maybe 17 so you can pace the 49er upwind in the light stuff. Build it lighter than the 49er with a slightly flatter higher aspect ratio sail plan and you'd be fairly quick. Scrap the one rig rule idea, go two, a normal one and then an ickle one for when the wind goes over 20 knots, very flat and low dragish. |
