Apparently not, but I would love to see one built. I have been sitting on a set of plans for some time, but if I built one and powered it with anything bigger...
... I just ordered plans. But it will take some time until they arrive in Vietnam. The description says "sleeps two". Is this "twin" configuration or "double"?...
From what I can see in the pictures, looks like twin, and you sit between the bunks. - Steve _______________________ But you could fix that by making...
Final Reminder Just a few days away. Subject: LCYC Messabout Aug. 6, 2005 The 4th Annual Lake Charles Yacht Club 'Messabout' will be Saturday, August 6, 2005....
... Thank you. I saw this page at some time before, but I bookmarked it now, to be sure. From the profile view it looks like there is a support for the motor ...
... And the battery provides all kinds of comfort: - fan - soft music - cooled cocktails - dimmed light What better boat for an evening cruise on the lake? ...
One thought I'd offer to anyone contemplating any of Jim's shanty boat designs is to eliminate the flat run aft. Unless you want to run these boats at planing...
A few messages ago, on the pedal power thread, Rob suggested that a foot powered yuloh might be possible. I've been thinking about this as an experimental...
Unfortunately, you have two things against you there. Jet drive is very inefficient at low speeds. At high speeds (lots of horsepower) it reaches peak...
Well, I've never actually operated a yuloh, but my hope would be that the flip could happen automatically. Picture your yuloh handle with a dowel rod handle...
I didn't come up with it, Rob (not that I don't have too much free time on my hands), I read it in a book a long time ago and happened to remember it. I can't...
$375 last time I looked. I tried to get a dealer price for them so I could sell them at a discount, but I would have to buy one of each of the Hobie kayaks to...
I showed Sandra how to 'parallel park' her canoe the other day by using her double paddle as a scull over the side. She loves to show off, now. Back to the...
I think the ideal shape would be a continuous curve in the bottom profile, with the deepest part forward. My goal would to have the boat trim close to level...
I guess perhaps my Vector will be the "Great Titebond III Experiment", as all joints except those involving tape & epoxy have been done with TBIII. Hope I...
I know this isn't really about any of the designs associated with this group, but the topics seem to range all over so I am going to pose a question; I...
... True, but I guess this depends on the speed. No difference at rest ;) If you start moving slowly, then the water has enough time to fill the void behind...
(and yes, chuck, the order was correct :) ) my criteria for a boat was: gaff rig centerboard car toppable now, i had considered building a hybrid skat/mixer...
Hi folks. Haven't checked in here for a while. I wrote about a year ago and was considering building the Viola 22. Since have figured out that it's too much...
... somebody? ... I, too, would like to see one built. It would be nice to know that I have some place to sleep when I get the Mrs. mad at me. She might want...
Nick: I think you are going to like the Vector. It should make a great sailboat. Harbor Freight makes a small boat trailer that is a perfect fit you: ...
I once built a 29 foot Bolger Tennessee and at least 12 feet of that boat hung out past the end of the trailer. The frame ended just past the axel. I hauled...
Just keep in mind...you gotta have enough weight on the tongue to keep it on the hitch. Experience talking here. Steve ... that boat ... axel. I ... even had ...
