I wonder why the rotorship hasnt caught on. I remember seeing a cousteau
special about a special rotorship type propulsion system ship that they
sailed on the ocean. It had a similar metal tubualr structure to the
picture shown above.
This last weekend several Potterers saw with their
>own eyes the testing of the pivoting mast system. In fact, Tom Westerman
>sailed the pivoting mast craft with great skill.
I knew that some day all those many hours of cocking around Lake Washington
after work on my sailboard would some day serve me well ;-) But these
days I find it too much work (and im only 33) Thats why I moved up to a
P19. Dont have to hold up the mast myself, get the boat to do it for you.
Thanks for the compliment--and incidentally, all the pictures turned out so
Ill post them in a day or so.
