[quote=charlescarlis]samc99; To your point - what side load values are we looking for?
I know that the point of failure will be focused on the exit from the board trunk (as expected), but really have no idea of what lateral loads are imparted on a Stilleto 27 versus say my Hobie 21? I'm equally intrigued about what the loadings on rudders would be. Just round numbers would do, because this is backyard engineering and tests would be some kind of destruction test using weights. Very un-scientific. However, gets one much closer to success. Afterall, hard-headed folks like myself are going to do this, eventually and never go into business making this stuff - that's for sure.[/quote]
