Todds quote......Another comment, I smashed my 1st sponsons up.... the 2nd set has a much higher AOA (just over 6*) which ran fine on Larrys test pond but last Sunday at the club race - in the 20MPH winds and 2"+ waves - it became emminently clear this is too high of an AOA for those conditions (boat would bounce up into the air).
Just a point of clarification............I had a JAP.12G builder contact me wanting to know what changes Todd made to his JAP.12G boat when he built it.....
Todds boat uses all the JAP.12G design nuances,but it isn't a boat built directly from the JAP.12G plans.......Todds boat was built using an existing .12 boat tub.Todd and I had a three minute boogie and design seminar which resulted in new front sponsons,throwing away the rears and adding a ski......and......his boat is running great.
The changes Todd is making to his .12 boat are just part of his JackAssPerformance Racing boat design journey of learning.![]()
The JAP.12G plans were drawn after Todds boat was modified and completed .There are no changes necessary to the JAP.12G plans .
