Just attach a few t-foils to the wings and your sorted.
A pair of wands to control the ride height and you away! Any idea of the site that has pics / info on this lovely foilind rs600? |

Totaly right, you would get a faster rig ...but youd sacrifice the simplicity of the current rig which IMO is one of the best bits about the boat. |

Sensible Hydro-foils on the 49er just so we can go harder down-wind when the waves are up and theres a bit of a breeze, appart from that, wouldn't want to alter a thing...... Other minor adjustments may be to alter the way that the wing tracks are connected to the hull, ie instead of having two nuts behind the deck, have a fixed plate so that it doesn't become an absolute mission to tighten up the tracks when the bolts start loosening off. Another modification would be to lead the kicker and possibly cunningham lines back to a positions on the deck which can be lead out externally so either helm or crew can adjust the tuning of the boat from the wire.

Its being developed by Linton Jenkins of Fullforce Not seen any pics on the web, but I have seen a vid of it in action and it looks awesome, if a little out of control. The planned release date was april I beleive so unless theyve been set back too far Im sure you'll see more soon... |

Put a small foil on the bow to keep it up?
edit: im surprised people havn't thought about making things easier / more comfortable to sail yet ... Like rounding the gunnels off or making the ends of their wings thicker so they are easier to trapeze from. Edited by Villan |

Move the pivot hole for the Laser rudder, so the blade can go more upright and reduce the feeling of weather helm.
One very simple zero-cost (as far as I can see) change that would make life more pleasant for many thousands of sailors. |

Bar the thing I mentioned about the wing mountings on the 9er, which is a serious maintainence issue, everything I mentioned would make the boat nicer and easier to sail from my point of veiw. As it stands, the boat is awesome to sail and maybe knocking a T-foil on the back of the boat might take an element of skill away from it? |

Two things
1 Remove the corners from the back of a laser to stop the the main sheet catching!
2 I would tie three buckets to the back of every phantom other than mine! Edited by phantom871 |
