Rangi1 22 Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 Loving it - can't wait to see a few of these dueling it out on the harbour in 18 months or so Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 786 Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 Unusual shape above foil entry point. Not sure what its for, but its an area of high load.... And a VERY high aspect rudder. Could be a control issue?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Priscilla II 246 Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 Gotta Love the 80s Elliott-esque sheer lineThis is not a yacht in traditional Elliott terms as the hull is more a fuselage.Connectivity with the water is no longer a priority. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
