KJELL where are you. Kjell Dahlberg has been working with this design, without the computer/ hydraulic bits. MUCH simpler. From my own experiences...
Apparently in Darwin nth Australia there is high demand for ally boats and not much for glass as they have problems in tropical waters. I have...
I agree with Trouty, Taught myself mig then went to tech for more info and tig is SLOW and after seeing my friend use a tig to build an offroader...
We built a 16 footer if that helps, Very easy.
This tube price was for a full 6.5 meter length (around 20 ft)

Any idea of the date? Must try to find out. What I meant on this thread was that the wingsail will trim itself to the apparent with no need for...

Hi Kjell, to reply to masrapido the answer is simple. Put the wing in neutral. A wingsail with a "tail" like Kjells or mine (wingsails.net) will...
I agree with sail design. no I haven't been offshore ith a wing during a storm , but I have been on a 16ft tri ,on enclosed waters in a full on...
Tail size can help the prob of too much weathervaning. We use a small tali and it takes longer to react so you still get some surge of power from...
