OR, how about a “thumb” ? [these seem to have had a kind of ‘hip’ in them , instead of the double wings , to bring the tail in ]
by the way , thanks for the challenge to my thinking, Basswave !
…I have an 8’ double stringer blank at hicksy’s [cut down from a 10’ 11" windsurfer blank …same as the “moonrocket” was !!]
I guess there’s nothing to stop me doing something like the “moonrocket” [smaller than Grant’s version] …or a “thumb” , or one like the reddish one pictured above , WITHOUT any wing or hip ! [I DO like my pintails , THAT’S for sure !!]
Any progress on your pintail based on a Kane Gardens series? I am looking at shapes for my next cedar strip and the Sandpiper was on the list of shapes that caught my eye. Found your thread and wanted to see if you went ahead with any designs based on their shapes.
