Doug, I wish you could understand my deep and abiding loathing of the Lone Star State - OK, not so much Texas in general as Houston in particular. However,...
Hey Everyone, It looks like Cedric and I won't be doing one. Instead, we are working on an addition to our house. I'm just about done with the plans and will...
Sorry, I can't take no for an answer. :) You guys would have so much fun if you had one !! All you really need is the hull, you could use your monocat...
Shorty, I appreciate your efforts, but I don't see the time available. I'll be lucky to get the other sailboats out in the water while this project is...
Atleast try to come watch a couple of the races, am sure you will get hooked, and we can figure something out at that time. :) Shorty ... From: John Cody...
is there ANYBODY close to Pismo Beach that might be interested in giving me some lessons on my vagabond? I've had it for awhile, didn't get it out last...
I have V17 I also have a 98jeep wrangler 6 cylinder 4.0 engine. I know Ill have enough power but, Im concerned about the size of the boat versus the size and...
If I remember correctly the V17 only displaces about 1,500 to 2,000 pounds right? So your towing weight shouldn't be anything to worry about. Just make sure...
The Vegabond 17 displaces 950 lbs, the daysailor about925. I pull my daysailor with an 84 VW Vanagon (4 cylinder 90 hp 4 speed) and it pulls OK, although I...
Another thing you might consider doing is adjusting your tongue weight and trying a few different settings. I have pulled some boats with 180lbs of weight on...
Wow! Does that mean that I don't have to use the Sunfish rig to be competitive? Ken ... From: Shorty To: pdsail@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, January 31,...
I tow my Montgomery 17 (base wt 1500 Lbs + gear & outboard) with a Jeep Cherokee 4 liter, auto tranny. No problem, though I haven't taken it over any hills...
Thats right, or rather I should say, if you bring your sunfish rig, we are in trouble !! Have the bulkheads and transoms glued/screwed - just need to screw on...
You know what they say...Strong back..weak mind. ;^) Just kidding ... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Finance: Get your refund fast by...
Shorty, Looks like you are going with internal chines. Still going to tape the seams? Any thoughts on mast step partner arrangement? Looks good. Is it...
'a square and everything' - Doug has a wicked tongue. :) Looks good, Shorty. Ken mentioned the bottom flexing quite a bit. You have a 12in air box in the bow...
... Nope - going entirely without epoxy on the hull. Will go over the small cracks etc with titebond II and belt sander dust for a filler. Inside of all...
Shorty, I still would be interested in more details on your mast partner and how you will bolt it on. Right now I am thinking about a set up similar to what...
Love the name!! Just updated the pdracer page. I just uploaded a bunch of pics into the photo section called "Bucket Ears". You can see the mast step and...
Congrats!!!! Wow, 3 boats, we now officially have a fleet. Bucket Ears? That's a disgrace to this lovely craft! Ken ... From: Shorty To: PDSail Sent:...
I just wrote up 2 new essays for the pdracer, The cheapest design I can think of: http://www.shortypen.com/pdracer/cheapest/ And the smallest design I can...
I like the bucket ftotation idea. What about the 5 liter expensive wine containers? (Covered with a cardboard box) I have a bunch of foam I will probably...
Now there's an idea I like. Wine in a box ballast! Keeps the boat low and stable on the run out and provides much needed floatation on the "hic" trip back to...
excelent job shorty !!! square and flat are good !! Larry in Dallas ... called "Bucket Ears". ... closer ... bolted to ... and step ... and ... something ... ...
Just made a web page about building my pdracer so far with comments. Lots more pics: http://www.shortypen.com/pdracer/b-bucket/ ... Wonder if that alternate...
