I built this model (26 in.
LOA) after studying The 40-Knot Sailboat. It was derived
from two drawings in the book. The model sailed very fast in a moderate
breeze, riding on the tips of the leeward foils and the bottom of
the windward foil. It was stable until the windward foil bounced
off a wave and the keel left the water, whereupon it quickly capsized.
