Hi all, New to this group, I present myself: - monohull sailer: lot of sea charter, former owner of a 25' on lake Geneva, Switzerland - not much multi...
Hi again, my first idea is a really racing elementarry. The "standard" elemetarry is nice for places were you've got real wind. But on lake Geneva saling is...
Another variant of the Elemetarry has also been nagging at my mind. The "camper" version is Ok for two adults, but I am afraid that with two kids (OK, small -...
Something that competes with these boats would be interesting. I think the essence of beating/competing with these is waterline length and plenty of it. They...
Dom, welcome to the group. I have expressed a similar line of thought re a stretched / maybe wider windward hull for the Elementarry. The Elementarry concept...
The ideal thing would that the lw hull would be common to all the versions. Il really like the modularity of the harryproa concept. Rgds D. ... length and...
Hi all, I was looking forward to crewing on the Elementarry on Saturday in the inaugural Southport to Sandgate race, after a couple of days practising in...
G'day, Glad you had a good time. Would you, or could I cross post this to some other lists? eg Multihulls, Outleader, proa and Sailing Anarchy Regards, Rob ...

Nice report Rob. But I must say, Michele has a future in story writing, if she so chooses. Very entertaining and funny. So listen, I'm not totally up to speed...
G'day, You think her story telling is good, you should try her sandwiches! I cleated the tiller on Harry. No problem. Could easily be done on Elementarry,...
We did explore the idea of a micro cruiser not that far different from what you are describing on a 16 foot platform: Imagine a Jarcat with hulls going both...
Wondering how you created enough clearnce to allow kickup ruddders on Elementarry? Was triangular cross beams a factor or was it more moving them more...
G'day, They kick up around the bottom of the case. Haven't got any pictures, will try and get some next time. Next generation rudders are under way in my...

re microcruiser Dom, re your weight budgets. You can do better than 10kg per sq mtr with a ( for example) 8mm foam / doublebias or biax / vac bagged lay up ,...
G'day, Thanks for your remarks. And Rob, what do you think about this? regds Dom ... No problem as far as I can see. We are looking at options for smaller...

G'day ! (OK not "Hi" as this is an aussie group ;-) Thanks Paul and Rob for your remarks: - skin weight is surprisingly low as quoted by you, wow! Makes the ...
Rob, Do you see any impossibility in putting 2x20m2 of sail, on an elementarry, as said previously in the thread? Any serious structural problems, or so? I...
G'day, Thanks Paul and Rob for your remarks: - skin weight is surprisingly low as quoted by you, wow! Makes the micro-cruiser even more feasible. It is true I...
Never say never. With a 8-1 fineness you could have 2500 pounds in that hull. I think I asked about a cruising version of this type several years back Rob,...
... totally ... Agreed, asking for a bath in addition would be a little over the top. Jarcats are ugly cause that guy designs ugly boats. And HPs are pretty...
