Welcome to the one-and-only Yahoo Group concerning the boat designs of Jim Michalak. The topics are anything concerning Michalak's designs, their use and...
Good on you, Max. Thanks for setting up this group. You live in St. Louis, right? I sure wish I could get over/down that way to check out your AFs. You may...
Well, I'm currently building a Chebacco, designed by that Phil guy. However, I built the the prototype Michalak AF2, JM&H's 20' oar auxilary sailboat. It is...
Hi guys: Congratulations on the new group, Max. Nice to see some familiar "faces" here, too. My question is: Do you think you can get Jim to join? Chuck...
2 hp is plenty. Jim just mentions rowing in his description. You'll need one of his patented tiller handles. All up and full bore, say 500 pounds on an 11' 6"...
Oops. Many will have caught this anyway, but when this came back to me I saw the speed / length formula should read, "1.7 time the [ Square Root ] of the...
... I e-mailed him last night and broke the news. Told him Chuck made me do it. I don't think he posts much on the "chat boards" for fear of pissing someone...
I am working on a piccup pram. If all goes well I will build a second for my 13 year old daughter and will have races. I figure my extra weight in a small...
Added a link in the "bookmarks" section (under photos) to my AF2 page. It's for sale for a reasonable amount of money. If you are getting email, the link is: ...
This is Ken Abrahams in Sulphur, La. I've built several boats but not one of Michalak's yet. Interested in building an AF4 or Shanty after I complete a...

Thanks for the plug, John. I don't think many are taking advantage of the calendar, though. That or the messabouts listed below are all that are going to...
... epoxied ... From what I hear, that is Jim's most popular plan, and was also his first. What parts do ya hail from, and are you going to post some photos? ...
I have had a request from a gentleman to change the settings to disallow e-mail attachements, which has been done. Any other requests? Right now, only...
Just a suggestion, Max. In case Jim is lurking (how could he resist, really) Why don't we do a wish list thing - Wish for boats that Jim might design one day....
Let's keep it members only. It's not like it takes a great deal of commitment to become a member anyway! JB ... From: "vexatious2001" <cadbury@...> To:...
Jim already did my wish list with Toon2, the wider multichine AF3 type. That's a pretty boat that I could see building some day. (Like I need another project!)...
... selling ... clean up ... nice ... Good evening: Looks like you have been to the foundry again! After seeing your custom-cast port-lights, I have no doubts...
So, Chuck, did you cast these yourself, or make the pattern and farm it out? How much are you charging? Took lot's of pictures when I cast the cheek plates for...
I have posted a photo to the "AF3" file showing the three "Home Depot pintles", two with machine thread for through-bolting, and one with "lag" thread for...
Farmed them out. I will know how much to charge when I get the bill from the foundry. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your Chebacco, Richard Chuck...
