Elementarry leeward hull in 2 parts ?   Message List

Re: [harryproa] Elementarry leeward hull in 2 parts ?

G'day,

Sorry, I read that as Visionarry, not Elementarry. Problem with doing emails
in the middle of the night after a hard day kiting! A 2 piece Elementarry
would be possible, with a bulkhead on the end of each half and bolts/pins to
hold it together. Bit messy below the waterline, but no big deal. Or, could
slot them together, no bolts required.

It would be fun to do, wouldn't cost much and wouldn't add too much weight,
but would be a bit of work.

Regards,

Robut Quoting Dave Howorth <Dave.Howorth@...>:

G'day, Not easily as the join is at the highest loaded part of the boat, and the mast step has to be included as well. Better to make the join outside the ...

Rob, I can see it now. A Loooong Elementarry slides up to a dock on a balanced rig. The dock population gathers to watch this waterborne starship find a berth....

Is this for everyday transport or for shipping? If the former it would remove the great benefits of telescoping etc that the boat now offers. Splitting in the...

G'day, The telescoping would still be possible with the join in the middle, but the beams would have to be removed and replaced each time the boat was taken ...

Hi, If you had the boat split down the middle for everyday trailering there wouldn't be much point in having the beams telescope. Telescoping allows the boat...
