Here are images of the damage to “Beau Geste.” Taken from sailing Anarchy. Wow. We may eventually know what happened. I am wondering IF it is a transition area between high density and low density foam in the core?

I was very pleased to see this photo and the accompanying article about M ship in Sailing Anarchy. Longtime friend TJ Perrotti has worked for M ship for some years and I have listened with great interest as TJ explained their goals.

I will add that this method of testing is not new. Nat Herreshoff  used it. many years later Bob Derecktor used it. Both of these men built their own platforms as well as the models used in the testing with great success.
