Quick question. Aug 7 is a holiday in Canada. My wife and I are planning a little get away. Does anybody know if it is a long weekend in Washington as well? ...
Hi Mark, Boomless rigs can sorta work OK with multihulls - because the sheeting position can be moved out to the edges of a boat when reaching or running...

Howdy all- I'm building a PDR, and am already getting questions from people about how they can get started with one. Im building a PDR board boat to teach some...
Weight? Depends. Less than 100# for a 'standard' build, probably more like 60-80. Use 1x1s for your chine logs - cuts down on breakage. Hours to build? Cut...

I have seen 5's a lot but never a 6. You should not have a problem with any decent paint sticking to either if they are sanded a bit before painting. In a...
On the local fleets page, #111 is the highest number, so I'm guessing shorty just made pages for higher numbers so he can put pictures in whenever those hulls...
