Gooseneck Area
In order to make the sail roll up neatly there's no luff rope in the reef area, instead just this slider, which was a Caws idea and works well.
From the Bow.
Prodder and lowers keep the bottom of the mast rigid and stiff. Angua Von Uberwald is a female werewolf in books by Terry Pratchett.
General view of Rig controls.
The cascade kicker has a jam block on in the middle of the purchase that acts as a coarse tune. Solves the problem of running out of travel on a cascade, and great for easy rigging, but not so hot for repeatable kicker settings.
From aft.
Plenty of room in the cockpit! I think the one wing looking higher than the other is an optical illusion caused by the horizon etc effects, but the wing might be sitting on a righting line.
Working Model
Always start with a model to make sure the boat looks roughly like you expect! Its much easier to visualise the look of the complete boat than from a computer screen.
Design Area
The PC, with Hullform on screen, the working model, some reference books, and, as usual, appalling untidy!
