G'day, Spoke to Jim last night. Beams are not far off. There have been a few other developements, which may or may not happen, but are certainly keeping us...
... much the ... the ... I assume that you have wracked your brains over the issue, asking such questions such as Does the lw hull have to rise so high in the...
G'day, The towing width is not the problem, but if you wanted more internal bunk width, then slab sides on the ww hull would help, at the expense of looks and...
Hi all, How many list members would be interested in having hulls, for any of the Harryproas, produced from a mould ( That's mold for our American brethren )...
Hi Al I'd be tempted to say yes, but I'm not quite at the stage where I could commit (anyone else) to anything yet. Can you say a bit more about the...
-Hi, I'm with jim with wanting to know more about what type of moulds and from what materials. I still really like the idea of plantation grown low rot, low...
Of course despite the material debate which for me is best left to the designer to optimize weight/ strength and fairness, the issue remains which hulls and...
I'm in a similar situation but I will indicate my interest in a non folding harrigami with full size bunks. My preference would be for straight F/glass in...
I think we all have our own idea's (needs) for our own boat, but if you think about it, if a couple of the harry range of boats were moulded by mixing and...
Hi, I would certainly be interested in hulls from moulds ( visionary), especially foam sandwich!. I know wood is an excellent mat'l but it is labor intensive...
G'day, We have a relatively low cost technique for building foam/epoxy hulls (painted post mould) using cheap female moulds. It is a technique I used on W...
G'day, I also like the look of wood, but have a problem with sanding it to get it fair! The proposed technique uses a strip planked mould (probably mdf as it ...
G'day, With our hull shapes, it may be feasible to use the same moulds for various size boats. For example, an 18m/60' hull 2m/6'8" wide could have near flat...
G'day, The extra weight of a non cored hull will be significant, particularly in the smaller boats. A gel coat finish is not envisaged as it requires a huge...
Hi Rob Any idea of a rough price for such an Elementarry, assuming several orders to defray mould costs etc.? Enjoy Jim Baltaxe ITS Desktop Support Victoria...
... The lw hull cannot be much lower without beam height ... mounted on ... that 10% of ... hull ... I thought the strength required was based upon the...
Me too! Elementarry for starters. I might need a custom ww hull though, to accommodate those ideas we were discussing offlist, Rob. Andrew ... From: Grona Jr,...

Hi Andrew Could I be so bold as to ask you what some of those offline ideas might be? I'm also very interested in an Elementarry with a camping layout. I sort...
Around here the usual reason for building small molded boats is to imediately launch off into ever larger sizes, it is rarely commercial to build small ones...
Hi Jim, For sure, no probs. I really want a small boat to go camp-cruising on, and my background in kayak expeditioning gives me the desire to: - make sails...

G'day, Not at the moment. All a bit chicken and egg, unfortunately. We need the orders to pay for the moulds, but can't quote prices till we have built a ...
G'day, The loads are determined by the righting moment, but the layup of the mast, and of the hull is very dependant on where those loads are applied. The...
G'day, Not a pest at all. I appreciate any comments, from any source (even you, Fritz :-). The camping layout we discussed had telescoping beams operated by...
G'day, A thought provoking letter. Thanks. The reasons for building a small one are 1) The moulding technique is new. We need to know what is involved before...
Hi Rob What you say makes a great deal of sense and is very encouraging. Let's break the Chicken & Egg cycle and at least pick a small design to work on. If...
G'day, Forgot to mention. No problem with alloy beams (apart from weight, corrosion and fatigue ;-), although they would need to be built up with bog on the...
G'day, Thanks. Telescoping beams are almost as simple to build as demountable beams, but have the advantage of keeping usable trampoline space at trailerable...
