   Well the only area of doubt about how well it will 'work' is surrounding the foil and lack of 'end plate' effect, the guys assure me if we go big, hi aspect and deep enough it won't be an issue and at the end of the day it's a big wide platform that won't fall over. tbh it looks right now like the sailboat equivalent of a formula windsurf board.
I'm sure it''l go upwind like a train, it'll do O.K. offwind, it should go round corners without tipping me in and I can make cock ups without being punished for it. It should be wide enough to carry a big old sail and my target of being able to sail a single hander in the lower 900's without stress should have been attained.
I'm not sure I have the financial stomach for risking it any further, the next stage would be building in carbon to make it light and ironing out any 'issues' that may arise. 

The recession has cut so much deeper this year than ever it did in the past three, so chucking more cash at a project that would be very unlikely to get any uptake from what is after all a very 'tight' market would at this stage be very foolish.

So I shall probably use it as a platform for trying out rig 'experiments' whilst enjoying round the cans racing in something designed for me and my particular water, and I should be happy at last and not moaning all the time.
