Bill…as an aeronautical engineer could you please answer the question as to why someone has not been able to design a hinge that would allow the standard beach cat to fold up in the center? Wings on aircraft, carried aboard aircraft carriers, have had folded wings since at least WWII…I am assuming they are designed with a keen eye on weight…and if they can withstand the forces of supersonic flight they obviously can handle the loads involved with a catamaran such as the ARC 22. With your engineering background I would have thought that you would have tackled this problem if it were economically feasible. Why hasn’t it been done?
