I wonder whether the IPE wood that you mention, is our Brazilian IPÊ wood. It is a very resistant and beautiful wood. I am considering it for the building of...
Hi. I'm wondering if there's a limit to the rig height (as in strength) and problems with multiple rigs, such as disrupted wind flow. I was doing some sketches...
G'day, No strength limit to the height, and two rigs work very well, although upwind performance in light air is not as good as with a single rig. Two ...

I take it the unarig is the one on elementarry. I think I'll set up a model with an all jib rig. I've not been too impressed with mainsails. Jibs work so much...
Hi , Â just finishing rudders, pretty simple in the swing up mechanisms, but takes a while with the blade pieces and fairing. Wonder about doign it same as...
G'day, Can do it in solid foam but it means more shaping. Once the Polycore (or foam) panels are the correct stiffness, you should end up with a blade that ...

Cold overnight. Frost warnings. Warm (60's F) during the day, but I am working then. Only have time for boatbuilding nights and weekends. I am trying to get to...
G'day, Any pics of quick and dirty? Base panel weight is pretty easy to determine. For Blind Date/Rare Bird in cedar/glass, work on 6.6 kgs (14.5 lbs) per sq...
Hi Rob I would be interested depending on final price and payload. As much as I'd like to build the boat, I want to sail it even more. Sorry, but I don't know...
... I am interested if proa can handle 80 kg and depending on the price. Idea would be to try it, show it and sell it again. In Europe you should take into...
