I expect they use COLREGS at night

What's the black/yellow thing on the back of the main hull? Hydrogenerator?

Also in the Harken print catalog there is a chart showing sail area and unsupported span which is acceptable for each type of track. I could not find it on their website . In this catalog it's on page 94 for the small boat track: http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/285b6223#/285b6223/94

Tyson, are you trying for a single all-purpose rig setup or do you plan to adjust across the wind range?

Back in the days of the ORMA 60s a number of them broke off their windward floats. If memory serves it was thought to be wave impacts on the windward side forward when the float was in the air and not supported by the water surface. Load spike at the front beam junction

with 38 miles of lateral separation. Going to be an interesting couple of days

Agree with the above aside from I expect Charal in IMOCA and for C-40 Yoann Richomme And sentimental fave is Happy with L. Peyron

Anyone run any test routings yet?

Could also be an easy way to stiffen the back of the boat, more distance between the hull and deck skins making a bigger beam structure

Farr 30 No genoas, inboard engine, nothing so big that a normal person (m or f) cannot handle it, fairly simple boat, choice of A-sails or S-sails, good boats can be had for less than $70k, reasonably fast (~54 phrf)
