I had to post this, a new cat build by my sons! Probably a F16, 16 studs long, square main and rudder winglets...

Cool design....raised rear beam to prevent slapping, high aspect square top main, and I like the square top jib. First saw those on the AC boats last year, coming to cats now? Winglets on the rudders. I like the inboard mounted rudders, not sure how they'll work, but like most innovations, it has to start as trial and error.


If your havin girl problems i feel bad for you son

I think they have to much down and outhaul... there seems to be very little shape to that sail. but looks nice.

Definitely fits the box rules for dimensions. Not sure about the soft sail rule however...

And then he wanted a boat. Fully 3 part solid wing mainsail so it will not measure!
