The L3 was too narrow and too twitchy and didn't carry the big rigs and weight well. The L4 has a wider waterline beam, has chines (albeit quite subtle ones), and is designed as a 12 that can be sailed as an R (whereas the L3 was an R that could be sailed as a 12). so it's also deeper and has kite bins. Interestingly, Tim Bartlett has now cut his L3 up into foot square pieces, and has put a woof hull under it instead. Says it all really. Here's a CAD image of it with decks & tanks in.

I went to have a look here
and it says the L3 is to be hydrofoiled. That's going to be fun, and you know it's going to be done well. Just look at the detailed / clean way they build these rockets... ![]() Edited by Jack Sparrow |

Here's the L4 mould. Compare it with the L3 one above, and the difference in beam is pretty clear. |

Nice to know narrower isn't always better, for those of us with balance problems! The L3 mould looks rather like a plastic pond liner, don't you think? At least it will live on... |

Spotted toady at Rutland - I will give you a clue to what it is. It was designed and built by the German builder of my Contender. This is the prototype for a new class. He hopes to rig it today and sail it tomorrow, more pics then...
