Weymouth, 1995(?) This inflatable Catapult catamaran, fairly well known in British waters, is very light and stiff, thus ideal for foil conversion. </TD> <TD WIDTH="50%" VALIGN="TOP"> <CENTER> <P><IMG SRC="images/9702.2.jpg" WIDTH="236" HEIGHT="178" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0" HSPACE="10" VSPACE="15"></P> </CENTER> <P>Here's her forward starboard foil, looking forward. the foils mount on extensions of the cat's forward cross beam, and retract by rotating forward.

It is mounted on a cross bar, set on extensions behind the hulls' transoms. You can just see the starboard rudder head, on the starboard hull. This type of foiler generally runs with the cat's main rudders kicked up, whenever the foil is deployed. It sails quite happily hullborne, with foils retracted, in winds too light to fly. </TD> </TR> </TABLE> <A HREF="boats3.html">Back</A> </CENTER> </BODY> </HTML>
