A quick once over

We take a look around the GT60, potential future Olympic skiff

In Hyeres last week at the Women's High Performance Dinghy Olympic Observation Trial Dave Chisholm, the man behind the GT60, gave us a guided tour of his new part Cherub, part scaled down International 14.

In this first part Chisholm talks about the bow modifications required to make the boat measure as a Cherub and about the unique jib sheeting system (20.4MB).

In part two he shows us the control systems and the adjustable rudder stock for the T-foils (20.2MB).

Mac users can now view WMV files by downloading a suitable add on to Quicktime - we for example use Flip4Mac which works a treat. The only noticable difference is that while the clip will play out while downloading on a PC, on a Mac it must download first.
