Build an international moth instead of sparing for years to buy one, well that sound's a good idea. I live next to the Geneva lake (switzerland) where wind is quite a valuable thing and should be used when there is some. But there are already some flying moths around and they seam to be multiplying; they can't all be wrong.
I found quite some info on the web which is great as I'm starting from scrap. I'll put what I can online, as it might be usefull for the next amature builders. Maybe wait until I confirm the boat floats before coping...
Step 1: draw a hull out of a mix of the "Geko" and the "Hungry Beaver" both found on the internet. I downloaded the freeware "Delftship" to end up with the lineplans.
Step 2: do some simulations and calculations on where to put the carbone (that's my job so I'll manage).
Step 3: find out how to effectively stick the whole thing together. Quite ambisiously I would like to take some ideas form the "mach2".
Step 4: rent a garage of celar and get itchy.
Step 5: cry and throw it all away... (never)
I'll put my version 1 lineplan online as soon as.
Make comments give advice, I need you !

The Gecko never sailed a race, as far as I know. Stick to the Beaver/Tiger or go measure a Mach2 - I'm sure someone will let you.
