I have recently purchased a carvel hulled launch which suffers from deck leaks. I am in the process of dealing with the leaks but would like some advice on...
Use a wet vac to suck up the last of the water or use a sponge. Throw a handful of rock salt in each pocket until you fix the leaks. A lot of older boats had...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1KQsWDGOI8 I wonder how hard it is. Looks easier than windsurfing. BobLQ [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
It was a nice sunny morning today, and I couldn't resist carrying the hulls out onto the yard and having a look at them in their final position. I laid a...
... I take the point, but actually the hulls are very much like scaled-down Janus hulls-- a design by Richard Woods. They have a fair amount less wetted...
Has anyone seen this video of small kite sailing catamarans? One of them is steered like a car!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1KQsWDGOI8 One of them...
Hi guys, I'm hoping to enter the all at sea concept boat design competition. I'm working on my design but don't really have the knowledge to do all the ...
... There is a shelf of books that would help you out. The trick is to pick the one that best matches your background and ability. Three to start with are: 1....
Good info from Dave Cup over on the Proa file. IMHO these kite guys are really making progress. I can imagine using one of those big foils as a serious...
I was very interested to see the pics of Pacific Zulu on the groups photos and read the comments re slim hulls etc. What a great looking boat! Sounds like John...
The designers were Bakewell-White Design group. And yes I was involved in the project at several levels, interesting and great fun. I learned a lot. I'll see...
Thankyou John for your information and it would be great to see some more pics of Pacific Zulu in sea trials - she certainly is a great looking and interesting...
http://www.dulhunty.com/flook2.htm I stumbled across this while searching for something else. Has anyone ever used one? Does it work as advertised? BobLQ...
Looks like it only opens properly if it lands with the correct side up and works best in sand not rocky areas. In tests for holding power in sand and fine rock...
I dunno how often it would land upside down. But I can see that would be a problem. I wonder what the glide angle is. That would tell us how far it would go...
... There was a long discussion in openboat yahoo group, and it seemed the Flook worked fairly well, but needed a fairly powerful launch! I'll search openboat,...
... Which I now have done! I found this letter from the manufacturer at the openboat site: ============================================== Dick, I received an...
... Phil Bolger reported on some experiments with Danforth-type anchors in one of his books. His observation was that they never flipped over; they always...
Seems to me that the big thing is will it reset when it pulls out. Under the right conditions as far as I can tell they will all turn loose. A good anchor...
I found this interesting speculation by one of the pioneers of cruising multihulls: http://www.cruisingworld.com/article.jsp?ID=200615&typeID=393&catID=561 He...
Sorry, sent it off too early (pressed the wrong button)! Anyway, I think there are a great possibility in cats where the crew can sit in the hulls, for longer...
... Hey, Tord. What about fold-down dodgers? These could be quite inexpensive, since the seating in each hull is a fairly narrow space. Where I live, along...
I have for a while been thinking about my leeboard, that really isn't quite up to scratch. It was supposed to have been a 12-15% NACA profile, but sanding...
