My reaction would be that I'd love to give it a try, but I do not have 200 hours spare to build one (time was quoted on a Sailing Anarchy thread on this A class wing).

My second reaction is I'd hate to see what would happen to the rig if you wash it while sailing in waves and 25kts of wind.

My third reaction is. Lets watch with interest and see what happens. Maybe one day, but not in the forseable future.

Let people with fuller pockets develop it and then see what happens. Flying a kite off it might also be an "interesting exercise".






People my jump and ask why I don't want to ban this like variable trim rudders. The simple reason is that this may well be retro-fittable to current platfrom, where as my research shows that the variable trim issue would cause us to redesign our boats totally.
