I'm still working out the complete picture but 80 % has been decided.
<br>
<br>CurrentlyI'm really looking at those T-foil pitching resisting rudder of the Stealth F16.
<br>
<br>Go to www.geocities.com/stealthmarine2002
<br>
<br>and take a look for yourself (click through a couple of pages)
<br>
<br>They look pretty cool and the logic behind is so undeniable. John says he has very good experiences with them.
<br>
<br>I sail in chop alot and this could just be the thing to finish it off. To finish them all off.
<br>
<br>About sailing faster than 20 footer, mwhaaah that is maybe a bit to much to ask of the F16 HP. that is when these 20's are carying genakers, if their not than hey ! Bye !
<br>
<br>I'm looking forward to seeing your design.
<br>
<br>My mods : (mostly simple and nearly all Taipan 4.9 class compliant)
<br>
<br>I will tell you in my reply to your mail
<br>
<br>Quick list :
<br>
<br>jib sheeted of forebeam
<br>jib sheet cleat of on luff side of boat.
<br>Elongated jib luff a la Tornado sport and Stealth
<br>Carbon tiller and tiller extension
<br>set and forget positive mast rotator (Yes positive rotator, 75 % sure till some designing to do)
<br>Cascaded downsystem of Cirrus F18
<br>Genaker hound that leaves fully sealed (see article on F16 HP webpage)
<br>Hobie style genakerbag
<br>Hobie masthook system
<br>Pentex sails
<br>mast limited in from of mast fixed to genakerpole instead ofboom (66 % sure)
<br>etc.
<br>
<br>And possibly T-foil rudderblades
