Hi all
Here is the drawing of my L/Y with the swept forward axles. The drawing is to scale, sorry about all the empty space, I dont know how to remove it (yet). The yacht has a wheel base of 2400mm and the overal width across the wheels is 1600mm. The axles are 800mm in length and the line shown near the junction of the axle to spine is where the axle will join to the main chassis, ie. the point of attachment. The axles are connected to the spine by a single internal bolt assembly specificly designed for the job. The fairing behind the seat can be deleted or left in place. If deleted, the body would end at the backrest. The swept forward axles certainly provide lots of suport for the body/seat section. The extra support for the seat/body will allow a lighter unit to be made. The shape of the body is perfect to reproduce as a fiberglass form, fully shaped with compound curves for strength, lightness and streamlining. With a few more hours of work, I could add leaf spring suspension. I would prefer torsion bars but they are lots more work. Your comments are invited and appreciated.
