Mini Freesail Cat board thing

Not sure where to put this, it's a cat in as much as it has two defined
hulls, it's to be powered by a windsurf rig in a hope to make me feel a bit
safer putting the hammer down in 25 knots plus.

Launched it today, we had no wind, so it was just a float test, see how it
rides in the water and i shoved it about to check it would lift onto the
plane.

It's made of ply, glued, screwed and nailed together from bits costing less
than £100.

It's been an idea that's been kicking around my head for some years,
loads of sketched and doodles but everytime i asked someone to build it
they thought I'd lost the plot, which clearly i have, but if I get proof of
concept out of it, and it gets through the speed course at anything
approaching a respectable speed (anything over 30 knots) and I'll be
happy. It's way too heavy, I daren't even weigh it.

It's got a three stage rocker, final planing wetted surface a minimal 2.4 sq
mtrs, inside two kite bladders should ensure even if it leaks, not too
much water ingress will occur, now it's finished you'll notice the winds
gone.

Ayway i just thought y'all might be interested.

Here's a bet, and I've genuinely no idea, it hasn't had a rig on it.

But I bet i can get that to go a lot faster than Flat Stanley.

Shall we say a tenner?

G.R.F, your on! As long as you tow me there an back!

Angled fin, bow up trim?

How much sail is it going to be carrying?

I have a very light 9.5 mtr rig, which is bigger than a moth.

I will also use my variable luff curve invention from a couple of years back, a 7 mtr I managed to get through the
course in a 48 knot wind, but the board I was using back then was slow.
There's a bit about it here
it's good for 31.5 knots on an old dog of a board.

Anyway we can talk all we like, the proofs in the pudding, but it'll be fun using stuff I've built myself, I'm usually
totally useless at making things, i can design them, but make them happen.. no chance.
