DesignProgress 010710

Project is moving forward, I was able to lift the bow foil with about 10cm, that also raises the pole a bit, very beneficial. Also making progress with my cnc machine, will be ready 'some' time soon. I cut the rig back to 12m height, some reduction in sail area, but still plenty.

Still working on the new hulls. Trying to add as much reserve buoyancy possible in the fore part of the hull. Will also be downsizing the rig just a bit. With a shy rig downsize the boat will still have plenty of power for its weight, that's why I'm trying to focus on buoyancy distribution and nosedive recovery improvement. The new hulls sit a bit higher near the bows, that not only adds volume but allows the bow foil to sit higher too, avoiding or minimizing a handbrake effect when the beam will hit the water.
