Stavanger, Thu Greg, welcome to this group. I see you have struggled a bit to get through, but you soon get the hang of it. Right above this text you will see...
Ok, thanks. Have added that to my notes! And as to the time taken, I didn't think it was that long. But then at my age, things take longer anyway. LOL Fair...
Stavanger Thu Hi Gary. This message is mostly written to try the new text editor of this group. To be honest I almost always draft my messages here in Word...
No, that didn't work... none of the bells and wistles came out in the resulting message. Never mind, there is the files section if I need them... Arne...
Andrew, you wrote - I have long been interested in Badger since I found Annie Hill's book, but I have never found it listed among "Bolger's Boats on the Net" ...
Thanks Arne I shall keep that in mind. Hope to do some work on the boat tomorrow. I have sore lower back at the moment which is slowing me down. Cheers, Gary...
Arne, Is your vane about the same design? Mike Allison... If you should find it to be ineffective, I bet it is strong enough to take an extension of the blade,...
Mike Malena's windvane was working after the same principle but was probably a bit more powerful with its taller vane. Also notice the adjustable counterweight...
Arne, I was thinking of using SS AllThread Rod for the counterweight. Would make it easy to adjust the weight for trying out 2 ro 3 different vanes. Do you...
Mike, I'm not sure what you mean. From the photo you can see how the two course-setting lines are lead down from the big, horizontal coures-setting pulley over...
Arne, After I enlarged the picture and sharpened it some, I could make out which lines lead where. Do to the angle the course line and steering lines(to...
Hi all I just got a warning about somthing regarding Grouply which I don't understand. It seem that I will be shut out from "my" Yahoo groups if I don't do...
Hello, Right, taking the 'plunge' and will be transporting my Wing 25 to a hard standing location in sw London which means I will be able to work on her just...
Trying to respond to Andres Espino, if many others read it, cheers from Travese City Michigan. The Bader is designed by Jay Benford, not Bolger. For...

More on the dimensions of your sail and the amount of bury you can achieve. The bury...the amount of mast below deck...needs to be 10% of your mast length. The...
Hi Arnie and Greg,I ve been in contact with Wild Fox,a 37ft Badger and he has had problems with breaking battens with the cambered panels, something to do with...
Stavanger, Sat Alan I have never used wooden battens on my junk rigs, only aluminium or for a short period, bamboo. These are quite a bit more flexible and can...
Maybe we should start a database of rig info. Say one that would list the area of the sail, number of battom panels, top panels, numbet and size of battens,...
Stavanger, Sat Mike, That was the best idea I've seen for a long time! There is already a lot of data spread around in the files section, but this database...
Stavanger, Sat Hi again! I made a test now and it appears that I can add files or folders under any of the existing folders in the files section: I can also...
Or all the data could be sent to one person to update the database/files. If using files for it, I think your naming system would be a good one. If needed I'd...
Maybe we should have a Blank Record file for users to file out to help keep all the info in the same basic format. Mike Allison... [Non-text portions of this...
