The Moths tried this before flying...I believe corners were a bit of a problem! Can we not move away from the "skiff" type of boat for the 900? Maybe something in the vein of a Flying Dutchman, or even a scow for the 21st century, like we can find in America? And while we are at it, can the RS 100 be a modern singlehanded scow, please? Built out of something other than rotomoulded stuff, big enough for adults? |

I would buy one if it were !
(and if I won the lottery first.... ) Twin trapeze then, swinging/adjustable pole.... does it have to have racks? or could we have telescopic racks that could go in and out as the wind strength varied? or 'ladder' racks so we could climb in and out as the wind dictated ? |

How about something completely different.. Twin trapeze lead mine with stupid amounts of rag up top and foils to give some degree of lift to reduce displacement A Tempest on steroids |
