[quote=texastuma][quote=benedikt]I did buy plans for the Tornado for some initial analysis. I have also sailed one few years back. While I think the Tornado is absolutely amazing and possibly still the Queen of beach cats. Given the age of the design and that race courses were focused more on upwind legs and that gennakers were not around, my concern with that design is that the forward buoyancy is limited when compared to more modern designs. That is why I was looking to get more information on more modern designs, and I particularly like the Nacra Infusion and I think the scaling it to a 20 wouldn't bee too much of a stretch. Any ideas as to where I could find those plans?[/quote]
An idea I have thrown around is the Tornado general hull shape but with inverted wave-piercing bows and Nacra 6.0 daggerboards.
For scaling the Infusion to 20', just find one and enter the dimensions into AutoCAD and you can manipulate numbers from there.[/quote]
