I saw it at the same place as Tom and when i spoke to him he said he made it himself, with bits off other boats, sounded a bit like a cherub to me

is that a foil underneath?

it has the look of clive everest about it?

famous for using bits of other boats (and angle grinders.)

Do ask him why he has included biplane-like daggerboards.

I can only see sense in it if they're cambered and he's very nifty at pulling them up and down to use them alternately every tack - unlikely though, I guess.

This is the foiling craft that has been based at Hayling for a few years. Used to be yellow but now seems to be sporting a new paint job. I've seen it sail a few times but am yet to see it fly!

And Tom's leaning on my Tornado!! Will be checking for scratches.

doesn't it look fast tucked away under it's cover. At least I know it's still there, having not been to Weston for a couple of weeks!

Spotted last week outside a work unit in Suffolk, they were pretty keen to get it back inside when they realised I was taking photos
