Goodall Design Viper Foiler: J or Z?
Goodall Design has announced officially past months ( catsailingnews.com/2016/10/goodalll-design-viper-new-looks-flying.html)
they were preparing a foiling version, along a hull redesign (deck/bow mostly), of their successful Viper F16.
Today this pic was published in GD Fb, and it has a catch or at least it was intentionally selected in my view. The prototypes were tested with TNZ Js (3pt foiling) and this pics shows 4 foils down, but looking closer those are Js a la FP/F20.
Wonder if Goodall has recalculated on the Nacra 17 & Essentiel 4pt foiling option or they might stick to the original J/V foil plan. In any case a new production foiler will be available sooner or later from the builders of the World Champ designs (and built quality we can add) C2 F18 & Viper F16.
I just heard that my great sailing friend and former CEO of Hobiecat Europe has passed. May The endless oceans…
...Report was sent by an F18 Sailor, if you want Hobies reported send your own, we'll publish as usual. Cheers.
Looks like in your report the Hobies are not really present. Suggest to rewrite the article.
Thanks for the great report Wik. Great battle.
If I correctly read the results the overall winner this year is a Hobie16
