Thankyou all for your spurring on.
I'm currently working on the OzRacerRV which is the first sailboat I have done for some time.
I did like some things about the truc. The downsides I've seen is a photo with an adult and teenager aboard and half the cockpit floor is wet from water coming in the stern.
Also it is an old style hullshape comparable with an Australian 1980's form. "big wide planing surfaces" as the back of the boat have been shown to be quite inefficient and don't take the advantages of the balanced handling in waves and when heeled of more modern shapes with more evenly distributed hull volume. Also doesn't get the easy movement through to "planing" speeds without pause or transition to bow-up trim to get the stern to the right angle to develop enough lift. Much better to have volume and surface through the body and bow of the boat because those areas are already at the right angle to get lift without a wild bow up trim.
The NS14, non foil skiff moths, UK Cherub, National 12, 49er, 29er and others have moved well away from the 1980 hullforms reducing the volume of the hull above the water, rocker, increasing the flatter surface (In a narrow way - more U shaped than veed) up into the bow of the boat
This is the 29er stern

But then ... it's all talk from me until I actually do something :)
As for what was once the OZ PDRacer Mk3 - It will now be labelled the OzRacerRV.
Then next task is tax for my mother who can't see it well enough.
Then I'll need some project to keep me going. I think I will keep the idea separate from the Son of Goat - because the overlap is uncertain and as soon as I link it to the Goat I put a great deal of pressure on myself ... What if it isn't as good as the Goat!?!
Or doesn't overlap with the Goat's functions enough.
I can always label it after it shows that it works well enough to deserve a particular name.
