& also, look at images of sailboat to get a good sense of the relative

: point at the front so the outriggers would extend from the bow 2/3 of the
: way to the stern so that i am free to row as normal. I want the pontoons
: to incorperate small centreboards and twin rudders at the rear of the
: pontoons so that the complete unit is attached at one point slightly in
: front of my feet.
: Does it affect performance having the pontoons at the fron and the rudders
: more forward than a central rudder at the rear. We will be using a small
: windsurf sail and speed is not paramount
: Any info or feedback appreciated
