Karma with wings


Some effort being made to get Karma finished for a week's time.

Wings are on. Very light. Mast, boom, tramp and rudder box to finish.

Looks really good Phil. Although I don't really like the look of your wing conections to the hull.

On the water for states?

Alan,
Wings and connections weigh 4.5kg. Mostly 40mm HM CST like the masts. Look very strong, only need to support little me anyway.

Marlka,
Gantry weighs only 250g, its shorter than max but angles are similar. Lower element is carbon foam, upper elements are 10mm pultrusions.

I added up the bits today and think I might get it under 30kg, even with a very heavy rudder vertical.
New model foils coming next after boat is sailing should save a couple of kg.
