When you consider that spray = energy, (Largely wasted energy - look how little spray you get from a moth) there's a colossal amount of energy being expended. I really wouldn't want to have a port/starboard collision with one!

Don't worry, most of the energy is being wasted in the name of creating spray

Great video!

That's a phantom sail for a jib.

I want a go in one now!

 
Not all chemicals are bad. Without chemicals such as hydrogen and
oxygen, for example, there would be no way to make water, a vital
ingredient in beer.

Sailed in the Inland Lakes Regatta a good few years ago, up in Milwaukee on the great lakes - I think there were about 3 classes of scows (but maybe more) - loads of sailing talent involved - including the Melges clan.  They are great fun in a pile of breeze but awful in the light stuff, despite the huge amount of canvas up top. they work well on the lakes due to the lack of chop/waves, wouldn't like to sail one off the coast of GB or in a tidal estuary - slow tacking, wallowing in waves but mega quick once you're powered up

Maybe we should stick with our Fireball & Topper mini-scows, then.

Did anyone ever sail a Tempo (from South Africa) or Flipper (Scandinavia). The latter really was a big 2-man Topper , but g.r.p. and more sophisticated rig; probably slow in light airs but otherwise fun.

Much easier to sail! It would be a great boat to learn to twin-wire on.

I probably aught to say 'read the article to find out more'

Fair dues.

Did I spy a 'T' foil on your? Cherub. Are you intending to go fully foiling?

Not for the moment, sailing with the rudder t-foil is exciting enough for now! We are planning to finesse the size & shape of the rudder foil first.

PM me if you want to have a sail in her...
