I'll go after Dotan and see what their rudders costs. In short I'll work on the rudder setup.

The mast is pretty much finished as we just copy that of the landyachts. Ohhh, I will contact a friend with a "standard" landyacht and get his pod measurements and if possible his mast measurements.

The rearbeam design I will just take of my own F16 boat (3 years and still going strong), so that is finished as well.

I'll work out the traveller system and prep that to be test by someone as well. This testing will probably be done by myself as I have such a system on another landyacht (I need to clear out my shed !)

The only real thing we are left with are the hull really. Gareth, is that new material you are using for your hulls attractive for this F12 ? Any other suggestions in the way of material for the hulls. How much do you know about core matt hull production ?

hum, Like I said most testing needs to be done on the beam landing and pod, the rest has pretty much been developped to a good working design in both cats and landyachts already.
