Anybody have any recent experience getting this laminated PVC cloth? I've looked on line and all I get are Chinese and Indian Companies listing it but never...
Look here first, in our files section. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flapdoodle_dinghy/files/Resources/ eBay has load of remnants in every color you can...
It seems that it might be "what exactly am I looking for". There are references to vinyl and other materials. PVC to me is the piping. I have purchased what...
PVC is the name for that type of plastic. Many things are made from it other than water piping. Vinyl is another type of plastic entirely. A number of...
I'm aware of the difference as the pipes are different material than say an auto vinyl top, but many companies on the net just lump them together, and under...
I finally found a US source. Truck (lorry) cover material. It ranges from 13oz to 22oz. The core is polyester while the sandwich layers are PVC. I'm going to...
Hi can anyone help me please? I do not understand the offsets in index there are two files next to each other offsets and side panels. The measurements in the...

The pictures of this boat look like it will only fit one adult. If rowing or using a small electric motor, could it hold two? Has anyone made a longer version?...
I had two people often with a 52 pound battery and trolling motor, but not sailing. WideDoodles worked well I am told, but I would discourage lengthening it...
Looking at those pictures, and the caption describing size, it looks like the side and bottom panels are wider. To clarify,does this mean making the sides and...
Fatdoodle also called Widedoodles are made by making the keel wider. Altering the bottom panels is going to change the geometry. As I said, it will make all...
Thanks for your prompt response. I purchased the plans and will be reading them over (several times I'm sure). I'll mull over what type I end up making, though...
I keep a sailboat in Boston Harbor and have been thinking it would be fun to build a folding or nesting dinghy to use as a tender. I have an inflatable now...
The missing pictures usually means the files were not unzipped, and Windows is letting you look at the HTML files. You should have Flapdoodle folder if they...
Hi Peter, Last I heard, the Coast Guard limits a boat this size to 2 horsepower. Because if that, I won't recommend anything larger for legal and safety...
