It uses the power of the wind to travel on water. It’s sailing.

I wouldn’t get involved in a project like that unless you had $2m to spend on it.... you’ll have gone through the first million long before you get it foiling.

You think that diagram is an accurate depiction of flow around a transom hung rudder? Really? You should look back there sometime before you start calling us names.

More hogwash. An e-rudder won’t have to deal with the same heel angles, speed, lack of balanced sailplan nor will it need to keep as accurate a course as the original rudder. It can be severely compromised and still get the job done as long as it’s strong enough and capable of being rigged in gnarly conditions.

I had a blast, home in Santa Cruz 6:45 and asleep by 8:00. Went counterclockwise and finished at 3:20 after starting at 10:41.

I think it was a couple of lifetimes. Multiple generations of Oyster Catcher owners.

Good luck Ryan!

Fun looking thirty footer.

Do you think the same person fell overboard both times? Might have had too much to drink!

Anyone looking for some good used spinnakers send me a message. North A-3, dark blue North A-4, bright Pink Also a hanked on Santa Cruz Sails J-4. Radial cut Dacron with square head. Very nice when it’s windy. May also have an Ullman spinnaker staysail somewhere in the basement.

I think the OP may be confusing “better” with “faster”.

Diam-24 with the “Lake Rig” (screecher/Genoa) is a handful double handed in over 6 knots in terms of boat handling. There is a lot going on in a tack.

That is a great site.

What’s wrong with a Kellet when it’s really nasty?
