a couple more pictures

You have to love the look of this boat. I truly hope that it gets to be used in the AC. Get it out of court and on to the water.

Kostecki said they plan to sail it this week. I can't wait to see them put it through it's paces. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Hey Eric -

There *might* be some pics after all... <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Is the daggerboard really behind the fore beams/mast foot? They would have to lower it at each jibe. Or maybe never raise it at all...

Okay, so there's proof--I figured they bring their BMW/Oracle logos and slap them on <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Hmmm, John, doncha think those foredeck monkeys should get crew weight more leeward to get that windward hull out of the water?... <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> (Okay, I'll shut up now and concentrate on actually winning a race... <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />)

More pictures and discussion over at forums.sailinganarchy.com than any sane person needs.

So Rick, how long is the Power Pole righting kit that they had you make for this monster?

Check out the on water photos with mast stepped. You can't see the mastfoot but looks like the mast is not on the mainbeam but aft of the daggerboard in the central hull.

Yes, thanks. With the mast rigged it can be seen that the mastfoot is aft of the daggerboard.
