G'day, The foot lockers are a good idea, although it is not easy to get them absolutely watertight. Maybe not a huge issue for a weekender. Sliding the...

G'day, Certainly looks good. The actual planking method doesn't make a huge difference, in my experience. Choose whatever technique works best for your set...
G'day, Won't be anything too fancy. Each end sealed with a bulkhead and some means of attaching them (bolts, pins, mortice and tenon, block and tackle etc)....
hi, I have been looking at the construction details on the Scandinavian boats on the Harryproa site and noticed the method of female moulds and trimming the...
Hi, I am intrigued by the engineering of detachable bows. I can imagine it for single directional craft but my imagination doesn't seem up to fairing and...
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...
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 ...

Does anyone in Australia know anyone interested in a 15HP Honda 4 stroke with extra long shaft, electric start and tilt. I bought 5 of these at a very cheap...
I agree, I think slippage would be easily overcome with driven rollers on either side of the board. Could always roughen the board a bit. I don't think there...
Sorry Ron, The fault lies probably more with Jim and me. I'll try to keep them trimmed in future. I am realising the hassle as I am now on a v. slow server. In...

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, 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...
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....
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 ...

Mark, I am sure you will consider a way to remotely hold it in place at elevation. Friction brake/ rollers will slip, just need something that can produce...
This a question mainly for Rob but I think it can be of interest to others, so I send it on the list. Someone in France is asking me if it could be possible to...
This was the basis for an electric lift setup and a rope version similar to your description. Getting the Visionarry finished became the priority at the time...

Hi All I just came across an interesting design for a small RIB catamaran via the multihull boatbuilder list: http://www.multihull-maven.com/article.php?id=123...
