The Concept: a small lightweight singlehander with good performance potential. Drawn up the way I think a boat looks good. Fuller in the bow than the current fashion, with a good amount of reserve bouyancy. This will be a platform to play with various aspects of the technology, as well as wanting a boat to just go out and have fun in when the breeze is up. No thoughts beyond building my own personal boat at this time (although the door is always open to taking it further)
Shown with "me" hiked out. Trapezing is also planned. Foils are just placeholders at this point and not to be taken seriously.
Big question... to keep costs down, can a 10m sailboard rig be adapted ("commodity item pricing") to work in the boat, rather than an expensive one-off mast & main sail.
Check out the build!
