As Phil mentioned, it’s a converted Soling apparently using the moulds developed for “Longshot”, which won the Australian championships for JOG...
Well….define efficiency and performance! :-). Arguably the vertical stem is only more efficient and faster if a boat is measured by LOA, often...
Because they don't want to be instantly disqualified and possibly face a Rule 69 hearing. Spinnakers have never been allowed in National 12s.
Why do you always have to insult people?
The Symphonie didn't have a bulb keel. If the one you lived on was modified then maybe that was the problem with it.
Putting those together it seems that Herrochocker may have slept on a high-freeboard high-cabin IOR boat with a bulb keel. I wonder what the heck...
Stupid dishonest rubbish from a stupid narciccist. You have no evidence that the calculations are fake so it is basically a revolting lie to...
We've got a Hobie Bravo, which has furl reefing. Obviously the sail shape is not that great when reefed, but overall it's a great system in terms...
In Horrorshock's thread where he displayed his "design" for an aircraft, he got so many negative comments that he got upset and tried to have the...
You are being utterly ridiculous. In real life, there are calms and currents that go faster than people can tow a boat by swimming. In real life...
Since I buy solar panels and don't sell them, no reasonable person would think I'm a salesman. Space is an issue on many craft. You have to be...
If you want to go to 11ft and float one person, it's going to be a heavy boat in terms of displacement/length ratio. The Van de Stadt is a...
Yes, but irrespective of the type of boat surely one should be looking for an efficient power source? Even on our little 7' timber dinghy or the...
Ridiculous. Many modern boats do not have 50% ballast ratios. The Pogo 30 you pictured has just a 34% ballast ratio. How can you claim to know...
You probably already worked it out but one big problem is that the displacement/length ratio and therefore hull volume must normally increase...
Doodles are not designs. You are completely wrong when you claim I have "no idea at all" since I have a lot of experience (and a bunch of...
There is no "1990s Beneteau 31.7" that reduced freeboard compared to a 1980 Beneteau 30. This did not exist. The facts are simple and clear. Yes,...
You have comprehension issues related to comprehending reality. The IOR boats did NOT have high freeboard related to beam, as the samples above...
Wrong. No person with any capacity for reason and knowledge of boats would confuse Froude with Freud. IOR boats in general did NOT have higher...
So which "IOR boats" had high cabins? None that I raced against.
