Found again this pictures I shot at 2003 European Championship in De Panne. The yacht was an impressive piece of machinery with an adjustable (when sailing, I think) chassis. I'm not sure but I believe the sail number was K1 and was sailed by Mrs Cooper.
Now I don't remember how did it work...

After seeing some of the Craftsmanship coming out of the States one can't be sure if it is a Home or Professional Build. It certainly if impressive.
I for one would not have the patients to build anything like that. I think though, it does miss the KISS Principle by a Country Mile.

That is one classy looking bit of manufacture. It would be interesting to know the design theory of it and what is possible with all the adjustments.
It would be a maintenance nightmare if used regularly in a salt and/or sand environment.
Reminds me of the switch from recurve to compound bows (as in bow and arrow)....hopefully with the similarly scaled improvements.
Not sure if I like the overall look, but love the gadgetry in the craft 
How many arms does a human have again 
P.S. You wouldn't have an image of that landyacht from further back, to see the whole thing sitting ready to go?
Bonjour,
Mr Glenn is a pure genius.
see this steering.
His workshop was close to an airplane junkyard
and he used all kind of fancy pieces,
but in our sport you must build simple because of sand and salt.
silly question, how did it sail?
half those bit could be done with a bit of rope after all.
but yes it is a nice piece of yacht
Found the pilot here www.rsyc.be/nl.php?pagina=races/index_races.php&show=showOneEwc&tabel=2003-ec, she was Mrs Paula Arnold. Sorry for having called her Mrs Cooper...
i see the fancy boom front has been stripped off, and the sail looks a bit old. would those strts cause alot of drag. alot of technology to do what a simple OTT does. sorry if I sound like I'm bagging it , it is a thing of beauty, but all those gadgetty yachts are THE thing for a year or 2 then the simpler thing come backwhen a great pilot gets in one
