Here. Bit hesitant to post this tho' after the past winter.
I wanted shots that gave an idea about how the end wing buoyancy was also a comfortable surface. I think the ergonomics was one of the most successful bits, and it was also pretty good for carrying passengers, which, now I think of it, might be a sign I got the displacement wrong.

Well, this was my go at the concept. Really needed a couple more prototypes. Knowing what I do now i'd go longer and narrower with a smaller rig. On the whole it was a reasonable first draft I think, but had a few faults. |

It reminds me a little of the MXNext - the long, long bow, I guess, coz otherwise it has little in common, barring failure to sell...

There's a Wizard sailing at Rhosneigr but it looks much more refined than that. Designed by Richard Yeoward I think. I'll have to get some pics, it was going to be my what's this class quiz question

gareth...that is a Wizard..... it was developed around here and is/was a well known 'lost class' - I've seen it out sailing and could add more BUT I shall refrain about saying anything further on this other than pointing out that Darwinian theory suggests why things become extinct!!!!!!!
