Just read with interest the hull design discussion with multiple references to Riptide and how well she sails. The pic of Riptide II on the pond yacht web site has got me me very interested in building one. She looks great and it would be intereresting to sail a boat that is very well balanced.
Has anybody made a laser cut file for the frames? Is the original keel and rudder OK or is it better to update to more modern foils like the MKII version?
Best, Mitch
