[quote=smfinley]I would be interested to see how you calculated the loads the boards and rudder will be carrying. I think when the boat is under power there is a lot more force pushing on the boards then 400lbs. Also if you get the boat out of the water all the lateral force currently taken by the length of the hull will be focused on the rudder and centerboard. Just a thought but good luck with the project, sounds interesting. Also what will keep the bow from diving? Will the rudders have a downward thrust to keep the boat level?[/quote]
