I've just added the link below to the Multihulls section - it looks interesting, perhaps Julian would like to comment . . .

Looks as though he has spent an age designing a hirondelle...

I will read it properly tomorrow but on first view the boat he does not mention in his initial brief is actually the boat he seems to have copied.

round hulls and dagger boards, no thanks, too scary for me. Also seems to have the mast behind the centre line, I have enough problem keeping the genoa full from a central mast when trying to point, I wonder how she will balance. I am no expert on these matters, but the arrangement does look odd.

It reminds me of a Bobcat with a Prout rig.
