An alternative idea is not to pump up cold water, but to send down something that hot that is cooled and then brought back up. water is good, but...
I'd say that ugly doghouse was a big issue with windage. In the first attempt to tow it I used my 18ft power/ski boat with 150hp outboard and a...
She finally arrived at the new home port. It was quite an undertaking to transport a boat 70 miles without working rudders or engine. Accused...
Have you considered other sources of cooling than using electric powered A/C? In a hot dry climate "swamp coolers" do a very good job at a...
I must agree that the wharram-style cat I just purchased at 30 years old made with epoxy coated exterior ply appears to have "like new" hulls....
In the 70's when I was a kid, my dad had one of these setups and we put a boat on top of our Suburban, which towed our trailer. It made sense not...
I would suggest just renting a boat where you are camping. Most lakes of any size rent boats. pick camp spots with rentals. then you will be...
I am trying to get some clues before I build, thus the questions. I've read through a lot of these archives, and there is lots of useful...
The old cat I have isn't a Wharram design, but it is almost the same as one. In Wharram boats, they use an outboard in the middle. My question...
Indeed, if I have to ask, then I must not know. nice discussion, thanks.
If I could please request less TLA, it would help. By "weight" I mean mass. A real world example/question is where should I put the engine(s)...
Here is another folding cat, I saw them unloading it in Richmond recently, [IMG] One point of interest is the use of combined inflatable and...
Having read through hours of archive posts, the obvious is not obvious! I know for cars we want weight low and centered, but boats who knows....
If the hulls not big enough to get inside, why make them hard, make them inflatable, that is the ultimate in portability. Or roll them up and...
Where is the best place to have the weight in a multihull? I get that as low as possible is the first consideration, but what about in 2d? In...
okay, so I'm thinking I need a pole with a loop that I can use to reach out from the cockpit to hook onto a dock cleat and pull it in. Is that...
I need to dock this tri without any help. Does anyone have any video of them docking their tri? It seems one must have a wing deck so you can...
So I'm considering building a smallish power Trimaran. I'm wondering how you get on to the dock safely with them? The amas are in the way....
Tramps are expensive to buy, but I've made them pretty cheap. but yeah its a long bridge to span without supports, so maybe just some cedar...
It is in the SF Bay. It has been neglected and is in rough shape. One mast has a third of it gone, and they look pretty weathered as well. My...
