Is this the future of Cherub sailing?

I love the spaceframe foiler, it deserves significant respect - do they have a dual wand system at work?

Please remember the Clanger clause, this is the basic rule that discounts speculative cad files or sticking a set of moth foils on and taking a cheap photo....






IT IS B**L S***T UNTIL YOU HAVE IT SAILING

Didn't it sail at the 18 Europeans and get annihilated?

I wonder. Spend a bit of time and cash on decent lifting foils and 3 or 4 carbon tubes to take the mast, shroud and forestay loads. A few bits of 4mm ply at about a tenner each for the minimalist hull, some plastic guttering tubes from B&Q for the rest of the spaceframe and trapezing racks and Fanny's yer Aunt, job done! Anybody else think it's possible?

no but let me know when you try it!
It would cut down the cost of a hull but what nightmare to build all thos tubes.
board in front of the mast is interesting and a bow sprit that they dont use.

You would get wipped by the woddies in light airs though.

When everyone has finnished optimising to the 2005 rules we'll get bored and try fully foiling.  Less need for kites, wheelie bars and the ability to extend the gantry. It will change all the foil shapes again though.

Some moths use car throttle cables between the wand and the centreboard. Clever!

I'll do it! I'll make the foils at the sticky weekend. Mind you, it's winter now...
