Looking forward to pictures and video!!!
Great idea! I wish you guys good luck.......Area52 1 mid size.jpg![]()
Wild speculation may now commence.
Closer to the Laser price point than the Waszp price point.
Nifty little project which should have commercial legs'
Focus has been on ease of use and handling, not a demonstration of a unique foil configuration. Plenty of original thinking and some unique solutions to achieve performance and cost goals.
Check us out in Newport and go for a sail.

Very interesting.Area52 1 mid size.jpg![]()
Wild speculation may now commence.
But a few details.
Weight is 52 Kg.
8 and change meters of sail.
Two T foils, wand on main foil.
Foils retract between the hulls for upright launch and recovery.
Floats upright at the dock.
Closer to the Laser price point than the Waszp price point.

I've read this "sentence" a dozen times & still can't decipher it. Can someone please translate it?With the right wing mast section then boom tension is set when fitted, fat top geometry would mean a squeeze on the main would help any out of the ordinary power for low mode, med to high would be auto via mast bend & batten stifnress .
Yea, I think the Texas dude was just waking up when that was typed. Can't even rearrange the words to find logic in that!I've read this "sentence" a dozen times & still can't decipher it.

That is pretty cool (boat) and innovative (rig design). So in that last one we seem (?) to have 156 lbs you (sorry to have added 9 lbs in my earlier post, LOL) foiling nice and stable in what looks like maybe a 13-15 knot puff, sailing at about 100 true?Well I guess the secret's out. Here's a little teaser for you all.
To answer a couple questions, the two primary testers have been me: 156lbs and Dad: 235lbs. Works for both of us. Power and lift make a lot of old constraints irrelevant.
Leech tension is done with a snotter at the clew. Also dad made a typo. It's just under 8 quare meters of sail area.
