I'm in exactly the same position which is why I've had my head down for a while, since Derek's workshop and my visit with Bain. I'm still trying to work out the "disengagement" (what else do you call a "divorce" from a legally recognised, long-term, relationship?) so that perhaps I can get the money together. Sorry Bain but I am trying, really hard.

-waiting with bated breath for the next development of the Harry. Love to see the promised photos of Sidecar and Solitarry I am still keen to get a Harry but health and wealth defy me. The concept still makes the most sense to me and the boats out there look pretty good. If I had the cash I'd probably just buy Bain's Aroha and get sailing. Meanwhile I'm investigating doing a KSS system using polyprop and epoxy with an end bulkhead with foam ends. Robert

Hi Robert I did get out onto him/her on the last day before Bain so kindly took me to the airport, but unfortunately it was pelting down like mad. We rowed out...
-Hi Jim, I was certainly impressed with the build when I saw 'Aroha' in the earlier stages- I even helped with a bit of the fairing on one of the rudders so it...
Hi Robert If what you say about the rudders is true then why is there, or has there been, so much worrying about the design of the rudders? Rob and others have...
G'day, The side of hull mounted rudders work well, as did the in hull dagger rudders before them and the in hull spade rudders before them. They are far...
The biggest negative about the hull hung rudders, well the mk 2 version, is they would be difficult to replace once the shear pins broke. At the moment they...
Hi All, Rob, Mark especially Thanks for the very useful comments about rudders. With all the discussion and personalities it is sometimes difficult to follow a...
Hi All, Rob, Mark especially I just remembered that my first correspondence with Rob had to do with rudder design. His early plans for Harry had two side-hung...
G'day, The side hung rudders (very similar to yours, except the shaft went all the way through the hull) failed because the two way foils stalled at very low...
Good to see others are thinking about rudder designs. Jim we have four criteria for the rudders/daggerboards. They must turn at least 240 degs, they must pivot...
Hi Mark &al Thanks for the clarification. If I understand you correctly, the problem with that old design is that they lose the ability to shunt in a shoal ...
Hi Mark &al Any chance of some photos or drawings of the beam mounted rudders? Enjoy Jim Baltaxe They said, get a life. I looked on TradeMe but I couldn't find...
G'day, I have put some photos in the Files section (not sure why I didn't put them in Photos). They are not pretty and it is definitely time to paint all the...
Hi, Sailing's been pretty good lately, fast and fun, and mostly dry. I get to the limit of my nerves or of the boat fairly easily now - the ww hull has...
Hi, Sailing getting up in air easily, steering to controllift. Nose not digging too bad, but rudder develops those drag streams - separation off the foil at...
G'day, Excellent! Any idea how quick it goes with the hull up? How much wind to get it flying? Have you got a plan for it it goes over? The masts will ...
It was a little gusty - easterly, 10-15 knots? Speed 11-13 knots. Guessing, GPS not on. Shame about the rudders - they get that separation that you can see...
Bow burrying is one of my concerns with this design, any one considered if the addition of side lifting strakes would improve this characteristic? drag wise...

I can't see why bow burying should be a problem. The boat with a high prismatic coeffient and long bows has plenty of hydrostatic lift with a long lever arm...
G'day, I agree with Robert about bows and anti dive plates. My Elementarry rudders don't ventilate at 18 knots, I suspect that Doug's problem is more shaping...

Don't Apologise mark, I love what you guys are doing. Any drawings /pictures? I'm curious how you are going to get enough separation top to bottom to support...
G'day, No viewable drawings yet, and the pictures of the setup on my boat don't show much. Seperation is pretty easy as there is plenty of room above and...
