I agree re the painting, although you may find you have to fill pin holes in the laminate which gel coat hides. What people do here when making...
I think you might be out of luck. Roger stopped designing multihulls long ago Richard Woods of Woods Designs www.sailingcatamarans.com
It's a normal catamaran being sailed backwards. proving how silly ratios like Bruce Numbers are, because the Br No is the same whether it goes...
If you are building in epoxy and use a gelcoat then check compatibility with your suppliers, regular gelcoat and epoxy don't work too well One...
It would be helpful to know what boat you have. Photo/dimensions? The foils have to balance the rig, so increasing the foil size could mean you...
I also have a number of trailable/transportable catamaran designs both power and sail. From 18ft to 45ft. We had one of my 25ft Merlin designs...
That's why I suggested using a launching trolley not the main trailer. But a major advantage of the trolley is that it can be turned round so the...
Thank you Fallguy for suggesting my Skoota 20. However I would think the Skoota 18 was a better choice as the Skoota 20 folds for trailering. So,...
The Pico also comes with a jib, and why not fit a bowsprit and an asymmetric? Its a long time since I sailed a Pico I'm afraid, but IIRC the mast...
I would avoid boats with a balsa core unless you inspect them very carefully. But lots of foam sandwich and solid glass multihulls form the 60's...
yes indeed, some of my 40ft Nimbus's had a hipbath, I think its shown on my MSHMF video Nothing wrong with a 70's catamaran for most people RW
You would make it in wood or foam sandwich, either way as a one off, so no shiny mould needed just a temporary stringer/frame mould Costs, way...
So how about one like this? 28ft, trailable, proven cruiser Richard and Jetti's Cruising Log: Passing on the one...
quick google search found this PVC hauling roll 500 kg https://www.fishpond.co.nz/Sports_Outdoors/PVC-hauling-roll-500-kg/9999312649705 RW
This Skoota 32 powercat was built in foam sandwich in temporary melamine faced moulds, as you can see. Boat is Cornwall based, you are welcome to...
I went here, WB10 RID 310R Tube Kit https://walkerbay.com/shop/replacement-parts/rigid-dinghy/wb10-rid-310r-tube-kit/ but see they are out of...
My Duo dinghy was designed from the start to have an optional outer collar - why put buoyancy inside the boat where outside is more effective and...
Lots of designers use solid glass or foam sandwich flat panels, it not a new technique and certainly not a Bruce Roberts idea. I built my first...
I know it well, been to Fox's many times and the RHYC. When is the event, maybe I'll come up. The Duo will tow well, it has a skeg for...
The OP said "no surfboards" and I assume that includes SUPs, although they would be tricky to get on from a moving boat after a few beers RW
