Bill, Thanks, having been on this list a couple of months its a little wierd addressing the regulars in person. I'm almost nervous.
Anyway, you guessed correct, you might say I am not from or in the continental United states per se. I am however in the general US governed area, 7500 miles away in a little country we like to call "India." Alright, I'm done with the sarcasm now. My name is Dhananjay (dj for short), I am a mechanical engineer, and work for the Raman research institute, where as one of our projects we are building a wing-sail catamaran. I call it a backyard project because we are'nt geared toward or have ever done anything like this in the past, the Institute primarily works on Astro-physics, (as you can tell from the dish!) theoretical physics and Liquid crystals. So, as far as expertise goes we have none. The project runs on the spirit of some sailing enthusiasts here. We are building, on campus, in Bangalore, which is 300 miles from the nearest coast as I said. We began almost 4 years ago, and completed the hull and beam design 2 years later, but started work in earnest about a year ago. That probably surmises all there is to know.
