Looking for a shed, then it is all systems go. My new partner needs
to have his mast ( a 60'/18m stayed wing mast by the end of July, and
we need to build mine first to ensure the system works, so I am
hopeful that it is not too far away.
What epoxy foam are you referring to? I have made epoxy foam and it
was pretty heavy, even with the addition of very light filler powder.
Regards,
Rob

Hi, Was wondering where the cut off point is in flying a hull racing and not flying a hull on a cruiser? How light do you need to keep a cruiser to be able to...
My sense of safety as to weight of ww hull is how much windage there is under bare poles for the stability of the boat when it starts to really blow. A large...
Hi I went under yesterday and cleared top of mast by less than 6 inches - tide was higher than expected. I try sometimes to see if Sidecar will fly, but maybe...
