Hi Geoff Dominic Tarr and myself are driving up from Wellington with two boats. Only one is a proa, Dom's is a tacking outrigger. I'm bringing Doug Haine's...
Skinny and very smooth. Lw hull is 750 mm/30" high in the middle x 400/16" wide. Tapers to 400 high at the bows, although part of the reason for the 1m/40"...
Hello Rob, What type of resin are you using ? Â Happy sailing, George Kuck, Chestertown, Md. Â Â Reply to sender | Reply to group Messages in this topic...
Vinylester for the infusion, epoxy for the rest. It is important to leave the ve for a day on the table to ensure a good finish, and then another couple of...
Hello Rob, Have you been using epoxy on vinylester vary long ? I have had problems mixing epoxy with polyester in the past so I prefer not to mix resin...
Hello Rob,  You say "no sanding required"  Even with peel ply I would suggest you sand for added insurance of good bond, it can't hert. Derek Kelsall has...
Hi, This is an interesting subject.There are a lot of stories and opinions. I was at a meeting yesterday where a guy from a composite materials supplier told...
Hi, we totally agree Rudolf, our experience goes in that direction ... If the chemically reactiveness of epoxy has passed, you can only count on mechanical...
... Makes sense. Pushing as well as pulling so no need to keep the strings tight and working against each other. Though it could be left slack and allow the ww...
I have used epoxy to stick to vinylester and polyseter for decades. Never had a problem. I don't use Ve for everything because I (and my wife) don't like...
I can see the beam connected to the mast and forming a hinge there. How will you connect the beam to the ww hull? A structure like this with the hulls having...
The beam sits under the bridge deck, with strings to the ends to keep it at right angles. A stay makes good sense regardless, until you get caught aback. It...
My thoughts are for a couple of struts parallel to the main beam to support some netting, pinned at the end to allow hulls to keep in parallel with each other...

... Hi, (Such a pity you're using MS Silverlight. I can't see it on my linux computer. First time I have the problem.) Would you go to Paris Boat Show...
Nicolas, We tested it on a linux computer, normally you should be invited to install (Novell) Moonlight, this enables Silverlight to run on linux computers,...

Well i got it back in the water again, thist time 8.7m long lee hull, centre mast slot, longer deck and cabin, 360 degree rotateablerudders and nicer...
Canards work a treat. On Rare Bird (Gladstone boat) upwind it was far better steering with the front rudder and locking the rear one. Could point higher...
... I have just sent some photos on the Yahoogroup (French Hariette). I have sailed only 3 times as weather is not really fine here. I'm progressively getting...

Hi Nicolas, thank you for your pictures. The hulls look fine and with enough volume, you are definately not too heavy (ideal weigth for a laser) but you...
Foamed, glassed and bogged the ends of the ww hull. Looks ok, but did not enjoy the torture boarding. Confirmed there was not enough room (400/16" wide) for...
