Vorpal Blade 89 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Class stalwarts avert your eyes, particularly PT die hards.... Mathew is planning on entering the New Years Day regatta at Whitianga, worth going there just to have a look. Link to post Share on other sites

smithy09 50 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Love it! Right out of the Tim "tool time" Taylor school of "Honey, I hotted up the weed whacker" classes. 10/10 for effort. Let's see the rig! Nothing short of a Tornado main will do.. sjb: You KNOW you want one... Imagine turning up to the invitation race at the Nationals with that.. Great for a wind up..

Absolution 7 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I hope it doesn't explode into a million bits the first time I pull vang on!!! Crikey! Make sure you are in deep water for your test sail because that rig is going to stick a long way into the mud WHEN you flip it! Link to post Share on other sites
wheels 543 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I missed it the first few times looking at the pic. But are those foils under the hulls??? Mate I can see this as going to be a fun machine. But I can also imagine it all going wrong real quick on you if you get the speed wobbles mate. Looks like an awesome thing to play with.
