... This sounds about right. Make the joins in the flats, not the angles. The join can be rebated on the table so you just have to add glue and push them...
Chopped out the cockpit entrance and the windows today. You are right, the windows are too big, I will put a vertical in each of the middle ones which can...
Hi Nicolas, Congratulations! Have you already received the Hariette from China and do you plan some sailing and could you then give as a report on the results?...
-! The entry to the cabin is also a bit small, not sure what I will do about this yet. Same as I have to do to make it comfortable with my escape hatch. Lose...
Apart from angling the edges of the seats and making the top hatch bigger ccan't hink of anything else unless you want to stretch the boat by about 300mm....
Overall the boat looks nicely balanced. Should be easy to build. Much simpler than what I am building. ... Can't really see a big problem that a couple of...
I have also thought about this kind of arrangement for the auxiliary. The idea I like most is twin keel with saildrive unit between the keels or even faired in...
Possibly the time has not come for electric drive on these boats but as batteries get lighter and more efficient and liquid fuels get more expensive the time...
... I have received the Hariette. First trial was't a succes : directions for use were not provided... I will try it again as soon as work and weather allow. ...
<<How far apart do they need to be to avoid interference?>> That's a good question. Tandem keels, an option on Etap and Bavaria monohulls, have been very well...
<<As a cruiser I don't want another "thing" to be managed on every shunt.>> I share the desire to have as little to do on each shunt as possible. My goal is to...
... A question for anyone skilled in fluid mechanics: would two higher-aspect keels or mini foils be better than a single lower-aspect keel? I'm told the...
The attachment that I am concerned about is the attachment of the bridgedeck to the ww hull. This has to be removeable for the boat to come apart and fit in a...
For an equal area the high aspect will produce more lift relative to drag and that lift will be achieved at a lower angle of attack. If they are close together...
Hi Rob, I downloaded your solitarry spreadsheet again and just want to make sure I understand it. The major question is if I should just be looking at the...
A slight rim on the ww hull with some pins to hold it in place should work. I don' really understand the crossbeams ending about 3-4 feet from the ww hull....
... That is how I envisaged the leeboard. A sprung single pin to hold a Speer section ogive in place in a depression on the lw hull. My present understanding...
Hello, For electric why not use an electric outboard such as a 48 volt Torqeedo ? The Trimaran "Current Sunshine" switched to this after having poor results...
If two tandem keels work, then that is the way I would go. Possibly 2x500mm speer ogive with about 600mm between, personally , I prefer to be able to allow it...
Just the first sheet, the second one is well out of date, and probably wrong. The third one is the mast co ordinates, which I though I had lost. Ta. I will...

Still going with painting now. Epoxy gloss single pot comes out ok. lw hull done excepytthe antifouling not on yet. A question related to boat building - is...
I wouldn't even try to glue that derailleur part. SOme plasitcs stick together with superglue and others don't. Easier to pick up a second hand one or even a...
Hi there, I will be at Arkles bay with my brand new Hariette tomorrow (Saturday) at about 11.00am. Anyone else planning to be there? I may need all the advice...
Bent the lee hull today. Photos in the Photos section. Looks pretty good. The bottom has 3 layers of uni in it, is very stiff. The deck/hull join has one,...
Dear people, We are very happy to announce that www.harryproa.com and www.wangkaboats.eu have been totally renewed, and will be online in a few days ... We...
