Do you have any spy pics of your own Jack?


Things are moving slowly at Banshee HQ. Due in part to some low life nicking my spanky new stainless trolley form the firm that was making it ( he'd taken a eon to make the thing as it is). Meaning that new cradles have to be made. The trolley loss is quite debilitating as I can't move the boat in and out of the garage, without another person around, and what will the weather we have been having it's been hard to do much! I will post some pics when I've got something that shows progress! In the meanwhile have a look at Stage 2 plans for a fast family cruising Trimaran. The boats adjustable racks will be removed and replaced with the outrigger hulls which in turn I am intending for the hull shape to be a reasonable Moth hull. I'll be making 2 hulls so I might as well make a 3rd! That's the plan anyway. Need to finish Stage 1 first!

Halo reference? If I understand, yes it is, i.e a reference to all the modes the boat has rather than using Cherub as that is only one of the modes. But 'banshee' is also the Hull lines name.

I've worked with David Lee who is a New Zealand boat designer, and the lines are a modification of his very successful 12 foot skiff 'Nuplex' that he drew to fit with what I was after and UK Cherub rules. I have designed all the rest of it. Mike Cooke ( Aardvark Tecnologies ) has build the hull and I am fairing and making most of the rest of the kit.

You say the outriggers will be moth hulls? So will the wings for those be removable, with the outrigger struts plugging into the wing attachments similar to the inboard, cherub, end?

 

Nevermind "Banshee Ambulance", this has echoes of Power Rangers- call it "Megazord"...
