have you looked at the problem apparently encountered with ther Bi rigged cats thqt they don't tack easily.
I heard that a centred rudder and daggerboard help.
You could put a daggerboard up through the bridge deck OK, but the rudder would maybe not be as far aft if on the centreline.

There was an argument over the estimate and the actual price. Not much of an argument as it was all our fault so I returned his money. He has not spoken to me since. Pity, he is a nice guy doing a good job.
The masts were fine, are now on a Schionning 12m.

Just reading the Scrumble blog - he needs a gas mask!
What was the upshot on the mast deal? It sounds like there was an argument on something and it was cancelled.
It would need a netred daggerboard from what I read about the other Bi-Cat (Radical Bay).
Basically he isn't getting my message through email, so I'll have to wait till he checks his blog - or search out for an email address.
Thought to ask you about things as you show up in the blog from ages back.

G'day,
Windward hull plans sent. It is much less work and little or no extra
weight to use the foam under the bow.
