Rob, I'm afraid I won't have enough time and money to finish building of my Harrygami in the next 2 years (and space in my boatyard also). Anyway I do have...

Sailed Peel Inlet today, saw a pair of Hobies going real quick across the good Northerly we had today. Sailing my Hartley 16, scraping all over the mud...
Good 'ay, Thought I'd write about the sail makers' issue over making my two elementarry sails. Rolly Taskers in Phuket, very cheap, delivered the sails pretty...
Hi - I would like to make you aware of an event planned for the October this year on the NSW Central Coast. Its called the "Jarcat Jarboree" its an annual...
Would it be possible on the 12 m Harry to take just the LW hull, insert the crossbeams, tip the whole thing on its side, insert the mast horizontally, then...
Group When beams and hulls laid out,4m looked and felt OK. So far the building is very simple and quick. There is space to sleep inside, with storage under...
Could it be used to make the flat platform on the camper? 15mm expensive foam sandwiched with 400db is stated on the plan. Was buying the polystyrene for the...
OK, I'm ready to be shot down , but if the LW hull is very shallow, why not have the mast bearings in a watertight tube, raise the base till it is above the...

G'Day Mark, Is there a general plan sheet on the WW hull similar to the one I got for the LW hull? I was thinking you could just stripplank all around the...
Gidday Mates, Got photographs taken today. That's me with the mask and icecream tub full of epoxy. Time since started about 2 weeks. No real problems. Smelly...
Rob, With the two masts versus one, say you are cruising with some weight in the camper, is it possible to cleatone mainsheet off, then use the rudder and...
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...
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...
To Michelle and Mark, I saw Rob today, and paid for the Elementarry plans. Can I get at least materials list as soon as you read this, because I'll be shopping...
Robert Thanks for your interest. I know we're late, and that was due to a lot of work in our little boatyard, with 3 cats of a new model, as well as the design...
Hello all, It is with great sadness I inform you that Johnny Richards died last Saturday evening after a two month battle with lung cancer. John was a very...
I am wondering what is happening to the Elementarry camper. Last I checked, Multicascos still had only renderings of the boat on their web site. If I...
Rob, Someone on the electric boat group proposed the novel idea of eliminating the electric motor between the wind generator and the propellor! Do you think...
Is he likely to be sailing before winter? I'm being presumptuous in assuming that if I could get over there I could get a guided tour or even a sail???????????...
