Re: Northwind
Wow, obviously a lot of thought and experience gone into that - as well as a lot of work!
How about posting up some details about the build - eg what was it designed for, where did the pontoon hulls come from, what problems did you have during the build (and how did you overcome them) etc? Also a report of how it goes on water would be of interest. The leeboard should allow it point upwind fairly well.
I sense that a lot of good info for other builders could be found in this build, particularly for anyone thinking of setting up a sail rig. I've been contemplating converting my Laker to a trimaran and I reckon Goanywhere will be salivating when he sees this
.
That lug rig has always looked odd to me but people who have them swear by them and I only recently saw a video of a pram dinghy with one that showed it really scooting along.
Congratulations.

Re: Northwind
Very very nice! Great looking boat. I'm sure you will get long delays on the beach trying to rig and launch !
Would love to see some pics of her on the water. Any reports on how she sails?
