Those Afura hulls look close enough to "good looking" to warrant considering them for the F12.

All the other stuff however will be changed. Reasons :

F12 is still cheaper
F12 is still simpler
F12 is still one or two steps easier to build and rig.

I've got the rig pretty much finished now and it is a really nice concept.

We just need to find easy to build hulls that do look nice at the same time. How easy is it to build the afura cat hulls ? Also 100 hours as the Paper Tigers hulls ?



Currently no shackles have been used in the design, actually one needs to get only the following from the chandlery :

-1- 1 ratchet block (no cleat)
-2- 3 simple 30 mm sheeve blocks
-3- 1 simple 30 mm sheeve blocks with becket
-4- 10 saddles (eyestraps)
-5- about 6 mtr 6 mm or 8 mm sheetline (swiftcord)
-6- about 4 mtr 4 mm racing dyneema
-7- 3 universal joints

All the rest is just lashings and knots.

This my friend equates to CHEAP, cheaper then the afura cat that does have quite a lot of chandlery shop.


Additionally, everything is home made EXCEPT the Dotan rudders and rudder boxed, but the rudder setup could be can be homemade as well.
