Is that still a 7m^2 sail? It looks too big compared to the pic's of Gato's (or is Gato's too small?). Maybe it's just my eyes!
yup...7m^2 and max luff length, foot is smaller than on boomed boats as the sheeting line goes from the circular traveller (fwd of rear beam) to the head to be able to maintain foot tension. That coupled with a slightly bigger head makes it look bigger than it is.
Interesting..I read the whole thread <img src="<>/laugh.gif" alt="laugh" title="laugh" height="15" width="15" />.

Great article!
looking forward to seeing fleets of these
If you could get a roto molded hulled boat at minimum weight to set up large fleets would they a peel to every one or just training academy's. is this good for the class as a whole, what do you people think?
Inexpensive boats at low cost will appeal to many sailors. IMHO More F12s is good news for the class, regardless the brand or make.

Hi all, how can I get vudu f12 building plans?
micklev, we aren't doing the Vudu any more as we are coming out with an updated design in a short while based on the pics here
Wow! looks cool 🙂 but I'm interested in relatively simple design - which I could build myself, vudu is not so simple as plywood boats but from other side - no nanotech involved.
Is there any chance to get vudu plans?
Vudu wasn't a playwood boat, it was E-Glass/Foam construction, the new one will be strip planked foam with E-Glass, quite possibly easier/quicker to build than the Vudu
Sure, I know that the Vudu is e-glass/foam boat.
Is there any additional info about your new e-glass/strip planked foam design?
Build method will be the same as the LR4 and the design displacement has been bumped to 115kg. Other than that, the rig and appendages are the same as the Vudu.
Thank R.R, please keep all community informed
