Design/Build Nightmare

Hannu, I install my daggerboards exactly as you described with two carbon tubes that fit inside each other. I purchase these from a local kite store.

Hi Ian! -
I just wanted to ask, if your female moulds of the nightmare are left/right or upper and lower halfs? -
And what halfshell-weights did you achieve with the vacuum-bagging? -
Previous to all reinforcements.
Thank you!
Best regards, Ernst

My molds are top and bottom, but I will have to weigh my hulls tonight without the reinforcements inside…I will let you know about the weights tommorrow.

As requested by Bill Hojnacki, and with a follow-up by Wis … here is link to a site where videos can be posted. This one happens to be Bill’s F-48 trimaran on a tight reach in very light Hawaian air. Shows the tremendous acceleration potential - even in light air !

Thanks for sharing with us Bill !
