As you guys kno me and a couple of frends are building and designing a Cat…I dont think that there are any multihulls here in SA if so there are very few, Just a question, If we wanna bring these into the F48 class what would we have to do? or is it better off starting a new class similiar to the F48?
The project still has a long time to go, so asking now b4 i forget.

Hi Shaun -
responding as class secretary for the F-48 class … Simply comply with the (very few) following rules for this “development” class:
- Multiple (more than one) hulls
- Maximum length is 1.2 meters or 48 inches
- Maximum beam is 1.2 meters or 48 inches
- Maximum sail area is .903 sq. meters or 1400 sq. inches
- No kite sails - but solid wings, multiple rigs, multiple radio channels/servos, carbon, Kevlar, etc. are all OK.
One opinion that has been issued, is the spinnakers are allowed during a regatta provided that in total, sail area does not exceed total allowed by class rules.
I can shoot you a complete set of rules if you wish - let me know.
