GT60

AFAIK Carbonology was the only builder and their website doesn’t have a single reference it anywhere.

It looks like 'Ronin' is going to be the only GT60 and is currently owned by Pete Barton who is completely rinsing everyone!

Originally posted by Granite It was not the snout that was the problem it was the profile of the stem. The GT60 had a radius at the bottom of the stem the Cherub rules say that the stem has to be vertical for the bottom 200mm so that means a sharp corner on the bow. I think the 60 refered to all up weight including foils, spars and sails. wheras the Cherub 50Kg does not include most of those things.

4.1.4 Stem - The profile of the stem shall be approximately vertical for a minimum of 200mm from its bottom.

You can interpret the sharp stem corner differently from that rule. In other words you can have a radius corner but you must have 200mm of vertical stem after it. It depends where you decide the stem starts from.

You'd have to have big brass ones to discount it considering it's background. clicky

when I looked at the line drawings first off I thought there was a slight 'hollow' in the mid-to-aft bottom section and suspected a move towards 'air-cushion' planing - but now I just think it's the way it looks on the monitor - shame!

that banshee looks fairly "slug"ish imo.....

Do you think it is similar?...
