Alternatively everyone who is working on a design could get it prototyped. Take some pics of it sailing and come back with a report.

I intend to start my prototype on January 1st even if my other projects are not wound up and will complete it within 8 weeks.
The building process will be documented in detail and both material costs and hours will be logged.
As the craft will have two configurations I will prepare a report on the difference in handling and feel between them.

It would be interesting to hear the plans of others.
I expect everyone will have a different timetable so as each design hits the water it could be given more than adequate exposure this way.
In the end the parents and the kids the boats are designed for will decide.

Phill

I know that the voices in my head aint real,
but they have some pretty good ideas.
There is no such thing as a quick fix and I've never had free lunch!
