BRAD & CIUBE AGAIN with the new twin mast iceboat

[attitude928]

Does the boat hike less, skid more or handle differently than a single masted iceboat?

[EbbTideWindsurfing]

We came up with the idea of the two sails to lower the center of effort (10'4" masts) so yes it does "hike" a lot less. The lateral resistance is the same as other boats but it does handle very well and turns tight because it's only 5' long beam to front blade.

What percentage increase in speed does the 2nd rig afford you?

[EbbTideWindsurfing]

Hi attitude928,

That's hard to figure out, we never ran it as a single sailed boat. We do think the 2nd (leeward) sail makes the same amount of power as the windward sail. Watch the upper masts bending, they are not supported or linked or each other from the booms on up.

Where can I order one?

[EbbTideWindsurfing]

Hey ellestrob8,

The boat is still in development, and if we get it on the market, it would take about another two years at the earliest.
