Got my first Cad renders today, they'd been in the junk mail since yesterday hopefully not trying to tell me something..

I'm amazed Dan managed to even render anything sensible from the kids scrawl I gave him.

It's getting exciting now, even have some performance readings which at this stage are not good, it's a little too fat, I shall run this thread as it happens, be an interesting insight into how boats get developed

Don't take anything from this other than it's now in a computer and can be messed with before pushing the build me a proto button. I think at this stage I'm just going to build a hull and fit my RS10.4 rig to it, see if the additional righting moment might give me the ability to use it in over 8 knots.

it looks like a laser /fireball from the side view, but then the others give the game away.  How wide is it - do you need two rudders?

have you got one of those nice new 3D printer thingys ?

There will be plenty of other things to 'do' to alleviate boredom, including hopefully a full sliding mast track with maybe 60 cms travel, plus the assym kite, plus the swivel pole, with maybe a jib on it's own boom.

1st things first, check the boat works and there's no issues with cavitation or aeration of the centreboard, which will be bigger than that illustrated. Then decide how big a rig it'll take, with genuine upwind planing in mind.

Lots to do

So little time.
