Looks like a committee boat platform to me... Rather ingenious, but difficult to keep the results sheets dry...

Good luck Graeme - persevere with the practical development and I'm sure it will come good.

The windsurf thing has been done over and over, there's a video of one going quite well, I've seen on one of the threads. Kind of difficult to fit a 19 sqmtr mast head kite to a windsurfer though..

I've been wrestling with my home broadband trying to get the videos up, but they're crap, the blogs updated, and there's a gallery Here, not sure if they're any better.

Aft view shows a feature that Graeme may have overlooked...bracket for an outboard!
