I am in Toronto and interested in getting into this class, if there is some class racing.
Does anybody know what the future direction is with regard to lifting foils, C or J or other?
Looking at the videos of the boat in a blow it looks like they need some lift. The boat is burying the ama pretty hard.
I sailed an F20c for a few years and the C foil lifting only at 50% totally changes the characteristics of the boat.

Sounds to me like you might want a superfoiler instead. https://www.superfoiler.com/gallery/
So far, only sailing / racing in Australia. I'm too old for it, but that looks like fun for the next couple generations. I like that they still use soft sails.

Hi Trevor,
I am the registered UK repairer for the Diam24 OD class. Unfortunately i am not very busy as they NEVER break. However on a lighter note. The boats are great fun, there are quite a few in the US, So it shouldn't be hard to take one for a spin. I am writing this currently sat in the La Foret where they are built. So if you need any more details please let me know.

Or Contact Muriel at ADH Innotec and she will offer all the assistance you need.

The Ama hulls are Fish-form and are made to run mostly submerged. It doesn't slow the boat down.

Unpacked the Diam-24 today. It’s an impressive piece of equipment!
It’s pretty obvious that experienced people were deeply involved in this project from the beginning.
Now we need to get the bottom painted and get sailing... I’m afraid it’ll probably be at least a week before we sail due to various scheduling issues.

Amanti, Russel,l is probably busy so I will give you a foggy version of G32 mast raising. The mast is fixed to the pivot. A small boom extension is added to the base of the boom this is fixed to a lower point on the cabin. The mast originally weighed @80lbs. The stays guide the mast up from its cradle on the trailer. the boom is the gin pole with the mainsheet acting as the rising purchase. The backstays serve as insurance as you raise/lower it. Watch the video several times, stoping it until it is clear. The whole rig is very evolved and not algorithmic. I could raise a lower mine in about 10 minutes. Jan, could do it in 5, He and Meade cold be sailing in ten. The video is real time. The craft was meant for fun.
I've been trying to get someone interested in paying for a sliding gunter wing mast combo for a while, I think the rotating wing spar could overcome the supposed deficiencies of the gunter. Let me know if you get fish.
