In support of your response Bill, as I got to the end of the book I
found details of four of his boats. Dandy, the one that did not do
well with a biplane rig, is shown as LOA 24' 10", LWL 23', beam
15'3", empty weight 2000 pounds, max loaded 2948 pounds and sail
area 2 times 138 sq feet. Obviously not a candidate for comparison to
a Radical Bay, other than LOA. Radical Bay has a bit less weight,
about 25% more beam and 56% more sail area, quite a different vessel.
Have to give much thought to final numbers for the camper cat,
hulls say keep the weight way down, have to think what max beam I can
manage on the trailer, sail area the last number to be established,
along with mast height.
All very interesting.
Roy.
