Thanks.

It started off as a CLC Patuxent 19.5, but has been modified to take the loads.
I've changed the design by:

o lengthening the floats to 20ft

o widening the the separation of the floats to 20ft ( NEW MOD! was 15ft )

o adding a mast at the rear crossbeam

o Switching the rig to a Batwing, made famous by Frederic Fenger and his sailing Canoe YAKABOO ( NEW MOD the rig will be 20ft tall )

o heavily reenforcing the kayak to take the loads of the rig

The deck has not been installed so I can drill holes for the mounts.
