Thanks Matt

This will be a fantastic cat at 300 lbs ,
You know as well as any to make the rudders-boards tough,
the pivot board is a good idea .-per T

Raced the H-21 in 88 when new,--in the Prosail events ,--the wings were great . The main problem with the H-21 was weight ,--this cat weighs less than half the 21.
The 21 wings were very lightweight ,and moved the crew weight av 350 lbs some 2 ft further outboard ,--thats 700 ft lbs of extra righting ,--THAT EQUATED TO MORE SAIL AREA CARRYING ABILITY ,
and better light wind ability also over existing cat 8.5 beam designs as well .

Just getting some design debate going ,
always fun .

thanks again Matt
looking forward to this new cat
