====== Big Issue ====== Pill Morrison [[http://www.national12.org/boats/index.php?action=list_boats_of_design&value=Big%20Issue|National 12]] hull shape modified to UK Cherub rules. ===== Original design ethos ===== Taken from the National 12 website: Designed by Phil Morrison in 1997/98 with high speed off wind performance in mind. The hull design was influenced by Phil's design work on International 14s. Big Issue has a double bottom with a raised shear line. The boat has at times shown bursts of phenomenal speed both upwind and downwind and has proven to be a good all rounder with good tacking ability in light winds ---- {{gallery>boats?3?showname?only2685-}}
