Progress

The moth media is awash with new releases, all aiming to be the next big thing in moth world and take out the big silver at Belmont. Here is another one maybe with less ambition.

The attached image is my rendering of the new ultra light moth hull made from 40 year old organic carbon mostly produced in the secret forest regions of Australia's east coast. My appologies for the double image which also shows the secret design for an automated solar powered clothes drying facility. As is traditional this image is only a computer generated rendering as its much more popular than actually building something. More images will be released as construction progresses.

Using the high tech bathroom mass spectometer the established mass of the product shown in the rendering is 5kg including the CB case installed between imaging and weigh in, or 89kg including my bodyweight in support.

Design is based on previous moths from the Stevo House of Nautical Horrors and has been configured using organic ceribal TLAR analysis and software, and drafted using hand held compact synthetic carbon rods encapsulated in organic carbon composite tube onto reconstituted organic carbon fibre and celulose film.

Production will progress with an estimated output of one per millenium, so get your orders in quickly.

Gold!

Is this design back to chine logs and wooden frames, i.e. not tortured ply?

Hi,

I am after a rudder to fit a bladerider FX.
Any suggestions
Thanks

Kirk,
Hull is stressed ply based on 2004 version on IMCA site. Bulkheads were added after hull shape is formed.
Alexander,
Sorry, We have no spare verticals at present. This new boat was intended to use up all our leftovers, then I sold a set of foils and am building a new set.
