Over on the SA AC forum there are pictures. I don't want to deal with the 100kb limit on images over here.

Mast is really stumpy...

They flew a hull, and tried their gennaker. I follow @alinghifriends on twitter, they posted quite a lot of pics today...

How did they lose the top 3rd of the mast? Man it sure does look short.

I follow it because I'm actually interested to see how this thing sails and that is so far the most reliable source for timely pictures.

I like the funky daggerboards! On the SA forums you can see interesting analysis of them:

I posted a question about those on the a-cat forum. I wonder if you will see an a-class builder experiment with something down these lines?

weight of the cb case mechanism could be an issue as well as lost bouyancy in the case.

what happens when you hit the board with your face during a pitchpole?

The same that would happen if the board was straight.

I think you would either have to be thrown almost straight upward (and still have forward momentum) and somehow come down on the boats hull (board area) ...

OR

you would have to be thrown UNDER the cat

Its more likely to happen durring a regular capsize (sideways) as someone jumps/falls of the high hull (i would think)

First decent quality video, it does look like it has a lot of rocker though:

Isn't that normal really?, have you looked at yours when sailing upwind flying a hull?
IMHO the rig is just really pushing down on that hull.
On SA they are saying it has 700L of water ballast in the rear, don't know if that is true though.

Maybe the sterns will be added later, that would explain the hollow transoms...
