All hands-- Development continues on the interesting wind-assisted Aventure passagemaker: http://www.aventure-powercatamaran.com/avcld/avcld.htm Writes Tim Jordaan, company director: "The huge asymmetrical with socks are not a problem, it is still the kite, but that will be sorted.The expectations as per the VPP program gives us good speeds of 8 to 12 knots on reaching conditions in 15 to 20 knots of true wind. "So, as a proper power catamaran that can top 23 knots under power, and more if need be, she still sails extremely well in the right conditions. Truly a great long-range true power catamaran."
