Why are we talking about flying on a sailing web site anyway?? There are tons of flying web sites for that. Can we at least talk about hydrodynamics or something, hull shape, lifting hull shapes, foils, etc. Calling Pete Melvin, HELP!

I think the "next big thing" speed wise, in the world of sailing is going to be foils, not wings, (sorry Ben) and if we have nothing better to discuss (it being the dead of winter up here in the Northern Hemi, even here in Florida it is only 30 degrees out right now!) how about we discuss that?

I am really impressed with what Rohan Veal has done with the Moths. I think the same could be done with cats and it would yeild a more stable, faster craft than the Moth. I liked Dave Carlsons inverted A foils on his Jackalope. Dave, more pictures! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
