Auto Credit Based on SpiritusRaptor's Experiments with Breaking Wind
Best wind loading is 25 mph.
Tested to 55 (which was too strong), and anything above is a complete wipe-out.
Sails both into the wind and down wind.
- VTOL to move the sail,
- Roll for the tiller,
-TRIM also adjusts the tiller.
- For more realistic sailing AG 8 will deactivate the gyro (you will tip over if not careful).
Notes:
- It helps if you know how to sail to sail this (fairly similar).
- The closer the sail to the centre line the faster you will go.
- Try at around 45 degrees to the wind, either up or down wind.
- Use the orientation of the sail to align with the wind direction (not the direction of the cat).
Enjoy

You have made a game breaker
Interestingly enough you go faster upwind than downwind, i do know that this sailplan is better at sailing upwind but jeez, 40kn upwind is..., its so quick
Hi! So I’ve spent quite a lot of time working on a foiling version of this it’s now almost ready to post but figured I needed you permission first. I can tag you on the almost finished unlisted version so you can see the changes if you would like :) @SpiritusRaptor
can you try making the Auroura from Subnautica?
@SpiritusRaptor no problem XD
Damn, yes I forgot! Sorry... @HKAerodynamics
Pretty good realistic design, but on the other hand is a game crashing machine it crashes the game every time it flips.
@SpiritusRaptor Hey, I'm pretty sure that the collab we talked about has been forgotten about. Are you still as enthusiastic about trying one as you were a month and a half ago? XD
@SpiritusRaptor thank you so much!
@shipster Its close, but I think you are right, the nose is a little bit too long...
Hello, SpiritusRator, I have a question. Do you think this (https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/Kx3y4F/F-A-18-Super-Hornet) is to long? I cannot tell.
These things are so fun
@SpiritusRaptor did you get started yet? Its been like a week already...
@SpiritusRaptor : I would like to see this with hydrofoils! :D
@SpiritusRaptor let's start with something simple. An aerodynamic and lightweight fighter fuselage would be a good start.
Need an idea first!!! Any thoughts? @HKAerodynamics
Oh my gosh this is so amazing
COOL this looks so cool if I only new how to download it because of my computer ;(
i love sailing and this works great! I love catamarans, especialy hobbycats
Another wonderful design!
@SpiritusRaptor so, which of us do you think should start the collab?
Try having the cat at 90 degrees to the wind, and sail at 45 degrees from the centerline . Then move the sail closer to centreline and aee what happens... @villulennuk
Hehehe, true... I do have plans for one! @HKAerodynamics
Fascinating
Nice boat. Though i would love to see a plane. It has been 3 months since your last aircraft upload.
