Someone already made the model:
 
Just what I need at the moment. Should be out sailing but hurt my back coughing once too often during a really bad virus attack, dammit.

Nice wind throughout the South East this AM, Force 3 or Force 4, a V Twin wind if there is ever going to be one I would have thought. Enough to power it up and break out of displacement but not so much that it would be unmanageable. I expect a very happy GRF any time soon. Any sightings?

Well i saw the vtwin this morning in person ive got to say that im impressed. Its massive but looks like it will shift wheb the wind gets up. Im looking forward to having a test sail in it
I think although its not conventional itll be a good laugh to try. |

Brilliant, another eye witness! How did it go in the race today? I expect it beat that Laser 2000 from last week, but more importantly how did it fair against the Contenders and the Blaze? Just trying to judge how quick it is going to be.

Good looking model. I wonder whether it is quicker than the swing keel versions that you can get?

will rate the same as a fireball i reckon very similar to a bistro cherub converted to 2005 in the light but once the breeze comes along pops up nicely and gets going

I've just checked the V Twin blog and noticed a new video of it on the water. It actually seems to be moving reasonably well! Jib seems massively oversheeted at the foot.

Helluva size for a singlehander, though.
That centre mainsheet makes it difficult, but it would have been interesting to see how the wetted area changed if he'd sat to leeward or even tried to heel it to windward. Had just about max as it was.

Jeez! You're not kidding! Looks more like something you'd tie up on! Still....plenty of room for a patio set!
