ahahahaha, you, criticising someone else, for using photos "without permission"! Priceless!

Plus, we're back to the unsubstantiated claims of foiling that thing. And the repeated use of the same photos. I'm ticking them off in my "ISpy Doug Lord" book.

Hmmm, the picture has been on Y&Y forum before with no complaint - is it because it is on a mis-spelt design failures thread this time it is a problem?

Now, the Tomahawk was a genuine design failure in that it looked fine, but the foil technology wasn't quite right. A real shame, as I'm sure it would have been easier to sail than the current crop of foilers.

Saw it sitting forlornly in the boat park at Weymouth the other week- looked like there's been a "design failure" on the sheet anchor points, one of those had ripped out a chunk of deck.

=======================
What do you mean:" the foil technology wasn't quite right?" I talked to Jon Howes about it and he was quite satisfied....
A single main foil system that doesn't require an altitude control system is a major breakthru. I wonder if there wasn't another problem between the people involved say between Linton and Ovington??
