Unchained ,where did you find that picture of the wierd looking 12 foot skiff? I tried looking for info on them before but couldnt find much.

Do they use rudder foils? They'd be bloody hard to sail downwind without them. They must be quick uphill.

thanks

mate duno what your on about but that sure isn't a the new 12ft skiff design... looks more like a woof build.

Yeh but my god they would be a bloody awsome boat to sail.
I was talking to one of the guys who sails a boat in sydney, and his lightwind kite is 54sqm. God damn that would be fun.

As for price there is always sponsorship and also SECOND HAND BOATS, might of heard of them before. Dont know

i think their around 48000 rigged at the moment, but i guess as they set in, and become more common the price will lower.

It isn't really that much difference, if you look at the van munster site. The $20800 is for a bare hull without rudder box, without undercoat, without paint, without selfdraining. Just a bare carbon hull.

For a van munster hull fully rigged without masts, foils, booms or sails, it costs around $30000.

Then if you add the cost of 3 masts, 3+ sets of sails, booms, foils (1815 each) ect ect.

Then i guess its actually quite close together

I know stuff all about it, all i got was an email with some pictures, and a price...
I think it's being made by a few people rather than a "company" as its not really in production yet.

umm as far as i know there is 1 racing. and the boat is still going through plannning and final checks...

As for your question hoop, I sent an email to my uncle, but he is in melbourne doing some motobike races, I dont think that hydrofoils are alowed on 12ft skiffs tho//

got no idea, i know of 1 racing, and 1 in production....
I know nothing else about this class, and as of now that is all the information I can give.

you can see more 12s at www.skiff.org.au
i have a 12 and they dont really cost that much if you have a plan over a couple of years to set it up ive hade the same mast and mainsail for 8 years and its still quick
