Brilliant - gets the weight right aft as the wind drops off, and gets the bow well in for those hairy reaches

Thanks, that really made me laugh!
The answer is simple then - put the pivot point near the transom. Make it out of carbon and what's not to like? |

Then you'd just need one 'device' pivoted on the transom below the tiller. Aft bridle, off-the-boom sheeting and a gnav and away you go. Wire-to-wire tackers eat your hearts out.
Darting around the office on your castored swivel chair would be the ideal training.

If there was a prize for conversions, then my vote would go to the GP14 converted to a scale 3 masted sailing ship.

One day I'll come across a 49er rig at the right price and we'll see what the V2 can do in it's current state. That or a B14 rig.

Now that's an entirely new image GRF as the Mel Gibson character in Waterworld, atop a non-catamaran dinghy as wide as the original boat, complete with his trademark split cheek wetsuit.
Shivers...
