Um OK so you're weekending. How about Monday morning? Kiri sizes and quantities, so I can go to Highpoint Timbers. Kind of in a rush - Mum's coming back from...
It will take a couple of days to build the strongback, cut out the frames and get the frames accurately lined up. Plenty to go on with for the weekend....
Robert, Yeah, I am liking thenew look at Rob's house - I can see the single wing mast going welll with the cruising accomodation. How far could you cruise in a...
G'day, 24 sq m of 4 or 5 mm kiri, depending on how much abuse it is going to get. It will be a lot cheaper to buy it in big planks and cut it yourself. It...
g'DAY Rob, Thanks I got some sheets emailed, and wroe back to Mark about what width of strips )40mm?) Doug Rob Denney <proa@...> wrote: G'day, 24 sq m...
Doug, I am presently in Darwin but for years was based at Eden on the south coast of NSW.Might be interesting coast hopping on the beast. If people can do it...
Robert, That dream time circumnavigation is probably a good book to take along. Doug Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com...
OK Got 45mm ready cut from Highpoint. Now I'm not aware of the tapering method. Is this a sheet in the plans? Doug. Rob Denney <proa@...> wrote: 40mm...
What did Highpoint charge? The tapering method is where all the planks are tapered so that there is no need to taper them individually, or use stealer planks....
G'Day Mark, Rob & Michelle, I will need more details regarding the rudder brackets, Mast pipes, Trampoline rope attachments, and stuff. I am assuming there are...
G'day, Mark is back tonight, he will send you the sheets over the weekend. The 450 will add a fair bit of weight. 24 sq m x 2 x 2x (450-265) plus overlaps is...
Rob, OK I'll look at the plans then. Can't get any 260g 'till wednesday. Putting 450 glass on tommorrow. Only 7x0.8x2=11sqm. 11x0.2=2.5kg extra plus extra...

Doug, I'm trying to get far enough ahead in health and financially to start on a Harry. If I hadn't had two years of not being able to work I would have had...
Robert, Well I didn't say anything about a Harry. Are there many crocodiles and sharks up there? Paul Caffyn kayaked around Australia. Did you get the question...
G'day, Cleating one sheet is fine, there is unlikely to be a big enough gust to capsize you with only half the sail area working. Cleating both sheets in less...
HI Doug, Sorry I haven't been available, I've been in Sydney for a week building a large carbon fibre object for the Doha Asian Games opening ceremony. It...
Sorry Doug, I meant to imply that I was concentrating my resources on a Harry and felt that an extra project would take me even further away from achieving it....
I think they normally would be sheeted in, provided you're not running and the wind is fast enough to make you go, but not fast enough to capsize you. Monohull...
Hi Doug, Again, Rob has talked about this in some detail. It may have been on the proa file, but ffrom what I recall , you treat them a little like a jib and...
