KM... 826 Posted October 5, 2020 Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 The designer of the above craft said as the rig has been moved aft on the hull the rudder needs to go aft as well or 'ya can't steer the f**ken thing'. Also as Madyachtie mentions when at big pace downhill if the foils are too close steering is a nitemear so he wanted more separation for that as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The top shot is one of those TM ones. The bottom shot is the one shown being built in this thread. One does wonder how heavy the top one will be when you consider the one in the bottom photo is above minimum weight and doesn't have all the extra lumber the top one has. Very differing bows and rockers as well. Should be interesting to see the 2 theories line up against each other. raz88 and L00seM00se 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
44forty 90 Posted November 11, 2020 Report Share Posted November 11, 2020 Top one looks like would handle a jandal load of rig tension and maintain its maximum beam under load Quote Link to post Share on other sites
splat 35 Posted November 11, 2020 Report Share Posted November 11, 2020 Hard to believe Dan leech would get target weight wrong. He has a bit of experience designing and building skiffs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
