Honestly tiapan, what are you going to save with light rudder boxes? Maybe 2 or 3 kilos tops. They still have to be strong and a Moth rudder gantry just isn't going to cut it on a catamaran, be sensible about what you are comparing it to. Plus im sure your well aware that foiling moths break....all the time.
The center boards are way lighter than those on an f18 already. And there is no way you would sacrifice the stiffness of the platform with lighter aluminium beams.
Its been said by many. The only way to get it to minimum weight is for carbon everything. Now i certainly dont want to pay for that. But if the class continues to grow its only a matter of time before someone does.
In my opinion the full carbon boat will not be a hell of a lot faster than the current boats but it will be faster. That will be a big problem for the class.
A top of the range viper or falcon that costs more than a nacra F20 carbon???? Surely you can see how ridiculous this would be.
