Hi Sven, It has been discussed here before, but since you have first hand experience, you may have more to share than "theoricians" (me included...). Pacific...
Hey I have a question I'd like to add. How about Pacific bee's beam at mid sheer and keel width main hull not including pod? I'd like to theorize on dagger...
Thanks Othmar, I hadn't thought of first building a core of fiberglass, on a tube, and then laminating with the uni carbon. Anybody suggest a good source of...
Just curios as to what the beam of main hull at the sheer below pod is on pacific bee. I'm not trying to achieve anything just curious. Dagger board down in...

Sven hello, So I take it no questions of interest will be answered about your boat due to your fear of other designers speculation or your assumptions of why...
Dear Proa Clan, Unfortunatly message 29930 is corrupted, why is unclear. just skip it I posted the same again in message 29931 , again corrupted , but you...

... Dave, A nice story and a good advertisement for Wyliecats. Unfortunately though, it doesn't really prove anything. You are comparing dissimilar boats which...
Nice story Dave. We are comparing rigs here not boats. Every boat has its performance sweet spot, putting a decent rig on it is only going to improve it, from...

What do you calL a weight and main hull to windward with ama to leeward. With mast, sail and steering boards just off ama to windward 3/4 of a meter. Basically...
Sven thank you for answering question. How much clearance from bottom of pod to water line on leeward side do you have? Rough guesstimate is fine. Also, in the...
Sven, First of all, thanks a lot for your detailed answer. I fully understand that your experience and the solutions you come up with are highly dependent of...
I will be using a prindle 16 rig and sails - 26 ft long - the challenge right now is how to raise the mast and to place bunks closer to the sides ends so it...
