Guest Crafty 1 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 they claim this mono will obtain speeds comparable to similar sized multihulls. this will be interesting http://www.lymanmorse.com/underConstruction.php and AA told me "not in his life time".... Link to post Share on other sites
markm 30 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Notwithstanding the many and varied delusions in AA's life, on this one occasion he's probably right, at least about this project. The Designer (Murnikov) designed the Maxi Fazisi for the 89 Whitbread and if you read the SpeedDream blurbal you'd believe it all but won. Definitely not what I seem to recollect which tends to make me put everything else they claim in the same bucket. Link to post Share on other sites
Atom Ant 0 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 And I stick by that... Tell ya what Crafty, if it turns out to be as fast as a multi, you can say you told me so and I'll publicly acknowledge your superior knowledge about the speed of monos vs multi's. But in the meantime I won't be spending any time preparing it! Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 now that looks cool! hows about a wave piercing 16 foot skiff? i've spent alot of time trying to come up with a design that looks like it could work, absolutely no idea though cause my cad programe is a pencil and my brain.

Battleship 100 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I'd say this mono is probably quicker than any similar size multi. Link to post Share on other sites
RushMan 31 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I'd say this mono is probably quicker than any similar size multi. Some great videos on YouTube from last years worlds or Australian championships on Lake Macquarie. Lots of wind, plenty of chop made for some wicked nose dives. The Moth may be quick but it is not the best in waves. Link to post Share on other sites
Battleship 100 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Yep they are a pretty impressive piece of kit, there is one ripping round the course in Tga occasionally on a Wednesday night. Link to post Share on other sites

But in the meantime I won't be spending any time preparing it! Fair enough. I am sceptical too! and favour a moth type design which has the minimal amount of boat in the water / friction / weight.

Guest Crafty 1 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I'd say this mono is probably quicker than any similar size multi. yip a 60 foot version of that could give the multi's a big fright!! Don't tell those 's in the multi forum though! Link to post Share on other sites
