Mast is 26 ft, I believe. I think it is about right length for this challenge – easier to handle and store.
Main hull is a-cat hull stretched to 22 ft, mainly at stern. There is daggerboard and very narrow outriggers – they should be sufficient to give resistance to go upwind in shallow spots.
He used kayak’s hatches and they leaked, flooding main hull, I believe, so he couldn’t right it.
It is very fast boat, so I really want to see it sorted out.
