Only suggestion is to hire a car, or fly ($100 with Virgin) up to Coffs Harbour and have a look at the 12m Harry in the shed. If you go by car, you could stop...
with the tracking ability shown by success of the single rudder elementarry, is it possible that the rudders on the Visionarry don't need to be as deep. A 10%...
Is it possible that the Elementarry sailed in Twofold bay might be sailing? regards, robert ... Coffs Harbour and have a look at the 12m Harry in the shed. If...
G'day, I have not seen the spreadsheet (or the email that accompanied it) either. Maybe post it on the files section of the list, or send it to me and I will...
I'll try pasting it here, format is lost but you should be able to figure it out. Mast and boom figures are pretty much a guess. This leaves me a little room...
when you say $19.9K is is Aus or NZ? and is this procuring the materials from Rob's guys to be placed on a container or procuring the matrials yourself? ...
the kevlar was from a US site for end of run sections. I did the conversion for the dollar but did not include freight, a one off that may not repeat itself....
I couldn't get near that price for Poulonia. Suspect rob can get much better prices on glass and carbon. Probably worth the freight. May have to wait on carbon...
That's Kiwi dollars. All I did was take the harrigami list and add 10%, then I went and priced the more expensive items locally. For the rest I increased the ...
Part of the problem is to know whether you are comparing apples with orangutans. That price for paulonia is raw planks, need to be dressed and cut. Don't know...
From my own minimal experience, it is more important to get reasonably accurate dimensions rather than finish as you are going to sand a lot of it away. If you...
I'm intending to cut 500mm from the bottom of the Visionarry rudders. I'm redesigning and rebuilding the boxes so I will angle the blade more forward to retain...
-Makes a lot of sense. The whole box breaking away reduces the chance of the rudders jamming under the crossbeams during a collision, especially if you could...
Hi Robert and All, I'd think a HarryProa wuld be easily built in tortured ply technic for much less money, labor, weight. Any reason why it wasn't used? In it...
I believe there are a number of folks who would like to try tortured ply, cylinder moulding, and KSS construction, but aren't sure about how to replicate some...
By the time you buy good quality ply, resin impregnate with a protective glass skin and glue and glass joints, I couldn't get much cheaper and certainly not...

G'day, The best way to buy kiri is in big planks and either cut it down on your own saw bench or get a timber shop to cut it. The finish off the saw will be...
G'day, Getting the mast and materials from us, maybe the beams as well will make shipping sense. Good luck with the real estate. Look forward to the...
Like everything, the strake is worth a try. I have not done so as I have had no problems with either tracking (apart from the single rudder being too far...
Try Adhesive Technologies in Henderson. They formulate WEST and will sell 200 litre drums. Visit the NZ Multihull Yacht Club and ask around. Someone there...
G'day, No need to shape the edges, especially as there is a fair bit of taper on a lot of them. Polycore is indeed fascinating. It has a fluffy scrim bonded...
G'day First, a belated welcome to the group. Great to have someone of your experience on board. My first proa was tortured ply. Worked well. The first Harry...
Yeah Hi, Just like to inform about the contractors epoxy (cheaper 5:1) it smells a lot more than the more expensive 2:1 from BoteCote. I think you pay for your...
Thanks for the info. I suspected as much but for resin infusion it shouldn't be such a problem and it should be more reliable with the lower viscosity. I'd...
G'day, well done on the job. I will have the boat down at Jervois Bay Yacht Club (out the end on the northern side of Woodman's Point) on Sunday from about 10...
