Interesting stuff if you think you'll ever race a full size or RC multihull foiler: http://www.virtac.com.au/
scroll down to Parts 1 and 2. Probably applicable to all racing multihull foilers.

Interesting stuff would be to see videos of your boat sailing and not computer games/simulations.

Still waiting for your first trials with your foilerdesign together with the weightbalancer.

Rene, did you see my F3-first foiled in 2001? Tacked and gybed on foils. Top speed measured at 18mph with reefed rig. First post and here. D4Z is almost done.

This is an old video with just a few seconds of all my production boats. There is a much longer F3 video that appears to be lost.

AC 62 OUT for 2017!!!!!
AC 62 OUT for 2017!!!!!
In a startling decision the AC 62 is not going to be the boat for the Cup!!!!!
Just what will be who knows....
Article from Scuttlebutt here:http://www.sailingscuttlebutt.com/2...cas Cup Decision to sail smaller boat in 2017
The competitors and organizers of the 2017 America’s Cup are planning to implement a series of rule changes to dramatically reduce team operational costs, primarily by racing in a smaller boat than the previously announced AC62.
“After reviewing prototypes of the new AC45 sports boats being tested on the water over the past several months, it is clear that if we raced smaller boats in 2017, we could dramatically reduce costs without sacrificing any of the spectacle or the design, engineering and athletic challenge fundamental to the America’s Cup,” said Commercial Commissioner Harvey Schiller.
“We have a responsibility to think of what is best for the long term health of the America’s Cup as well as improving the value equation for team principals and partners. Racing a smaller boat in 2017 and beyond is a big step in the right direction.
“The existing operational costs of teams is much too high with a boat like the AC62. We discussed making this change early last year at a Competitors meeting in London but at that stage only ORACLE TEAM USA and Emirates Team New Zealand were in favor of using a smaller boat.
“But now that the teams have seen these new boats in action there is a clear majority of competitors who support the idea. I’d like to be able to say we have unanimous support from all the teams but that is not the case.”
Boat speed in the new boat is expected to be similar to what was achieved in the last America’s Cup through increased time foiling and advances in design and engineering.
