Grainger Flying-Fish: The Convertible

Tony Grainger is one of my favorite designers. I always check his web for innovative and stylish concepts.
This is the ‘Flying Fish’, a multiple conf design based on the same platform. This concept in the 26-35 range is what people here in Buenos Aires are going to be forced to ride, literally discarding their monohulls due to the Rio de la Plata continuous drop in depth created by the Parana Delta sediments and new ‘islands’ being created every year. Even F18 longboards are giving us a hard time.

We are already having a new era with the F18s and other cats showing what multis are all about, to this previous 100% monohull sailing community.
 Only a few pioneers were exception of the mono rule, but in the future the defacto water craft is going to be only Multihulls.

So as we don´t have any old design here, as no cruising/club racing cats were built (I think only one but not much success) this could be the new looks of  the Argie weekend, daysailer, and club racing machine.
 Also the Multi 23 has arrived to BA, brought by the J24 builders! That is a good paradox. I’m too busy building cats, but I will sail it soon
