Taking a single Tornado hull, designing a framework to support it, support the hydrofoils and sail and rigging, not to mention designing and manufacturing the foils themselves kind of make it a new design, don't you think? And, as can be seen in the photos, the only significance of the hull is to provide a support for everything else when the boat isn't foil borne. Any hull would have done the same, but we had a Tornado at hand which cut the cost down significantly. The fact that it was a Tornado hull was irrelevant. In fact, a later iteration of the boat eliminated the hull altogether.


It's kind of like the Grumman X-29 Forward Swept Wing aircraft. It used the forebody from a Northrop F-5 and the engine and landing gear from an F-16. Still classified as a new aircraft, designed by Grumman. In general, if it doesn't look like the original design, it can be classified as a new design.


Since I designed the overall configuration and especially the hydrofoils, which are the most significant part of the design, I would classify it as my design. Feel free to disagree!

PS: I never said that I designed the Tornado hull, but that I designed this sailboat. There is a difference!
Hi Mark

I thought ( I know dangerous ) you were refering to a project you did at uni not currently working on.

The new sailboat designs in the "fast lane" are wild.

The America Cup boats are on a different level compared to a yacht nowdays

No offence was meant or intended supposed to be tongue in cheek.

Couldn't find a thread for ships, so I figured I'd drop this one here.

Venus Island

A log ship at the Port of Everett, 1981.

Shot on Kodachrome, with a Ricoh XR2S, with a Pentax M40-80mm zoom lens.

Copied with a Pentax K5IIs, and A50mm f1.7 lens with a Pentax Auto Bellows M and Slide Copier For Auto Bellows M.

Living by the coast as I do, I guess I'm duty bound to chip in here - here's a couple of pricey yachts moored in Southampton

All yours? "Let's go sailing in Prolific today darling." "No, I think we'll pop over to Cherbourg for lunch in the motor cruiser".
