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.
