6ft Skiff

i hope you have twin tillers on that. presumably thats a self tacking jib. i like the thinking.

I think you would need 2 tiller exts., with a bidge if you moved to the back of the racks the tiller ext would hit the mast/bridge.

I think worrying about letting go of the tiller would be the least of my worries if I were to consider sailing something as riduculous!  I just did a quick sketch just to show some ideas!

Now you've got the idea strawberry!!

Hmm, If I were doing it I would go for

A windserfer, or if that were banned


Using a T-foil will control the pitch at speed but will not help as the boat slows to tack. So you need to get the weight forward to avoid a back flip when you tack

I would go for a mast as far forward as possible with a single upwind sail. probably  about 10sqm
A relitivly small kite to a low hoist, you are V unstable during the hoist so I would want to keep the hoist time to a minimum.

Infact I would probably try and graft a Musto Skiff rig onto a 6 ft hull.

hull shape I think I would go for big flairs in a wedge shape so that I could get the most hull form stability

yeah frankly i reckon id be quicker round the course with a few of those foam floats (ya know..the ones they teach swimming with. only come in yellow and red for some reason) gaffer taped together and one of those little wind indicator flags stuffed thru in the middle somewhere. lo-fidelity sailin - bo.
