No, but I have a theory that I can get away with less wetted area by
spreading the weight.

It comes from the days when I waterskied.

Two skis were always faster than a mono when ski-ing behind a boat
with limited power, but you couldn't control them well at speeds above 40
mph, so racing skis were all monos with square tails, like windsurfer
speed boards evolved into.

So I'm hoping to use no more than the combined planing area of a fast
mono speed board, but split across two hulls, so the rig and my weight
wont be point loaded, it might work, cats are generally faster and no-
ones ever built a successful windsurfing cat of the sort of small
dimension I'm planning.

Speed courses are broad, so there wont be any significant sideways
pressure, so the windward hull wouldn't lift anyway. But I will be worried
about the lee hull pearling, coming off at that speed hurts, so I may join
the two hulls in the nose before the mast step, or put a foil in place to
keep the nose up.

Whatever it's just a bit of fun for speed week.

Marine ply isnt heavy actually it can be quite light depending on what thickness and verneer you use.  Just because something isnt carbon doesnt mean it isnt light!!!

I'm sure grumpf knows what he is talkin about! when it comes to the construction of boards!!

We should get this discussion out of this thread and into a new one, I've not
used marine ply before and I'll explain why, so any help or experience will
be very gratefully recieved, I'll start a new thread.

The section on that boom just scares me
