Yes, it was trimmed right in to pootle about at 40 mph or so in those pics. Trimmed out and with a bit more throttle it was a very frightening...
More pics!
Anyone able to identify this hull? I owned it many years ago and recall it was called a Wildcat, but can't remember the manufacturer name. But I'm...
Looking at the photo of the boat at rest, and the lines drawing it looks to me like it will immerse the underside of the swim platform when...
I've heard in several places, none particularly trusted, that the tradeoffs for stepped hulls only start to pay with very high performance boats....
Cost. If you can make the submersible as light as possible in air you can launch and recover it with a smaller vessel. Biggest cost of subsea...
Down at the sailing club early this morning to do some gelcoat repairs and as always when looking at the transom of my boat, my mind turns to...
Yes, trailing shaft very efficient and self balancing. I'm trying to build something more like an outboard though, that fits in a drive well on...
Thinking back about the walking paddles propulsion, it's really piqued my interest. Thinking back to David Attenborough documentaries of my...
Ps. When I say 'rotting' in gardens, I mean it metaphorically. That's the whole problem with them. They aren't rotting!
I love the propulsion system on the plywood canoe. I have an aluminium hardtail mountain bike frame behind my shed with a cracked headtube that I...
Hi, As part of a small electric boat build, I am electrifying a 4 hp 2 stroke outboard with a 6kw ebike motor. It's an easy way to upcycle an...

No grid connection there, which is part of the reason for solar. Another option is to build a wheeled trolley for the batteries and take them home...
Size wise, I want it to be hand launchable, which I think for me will be about 15ft max. Obviously battery weight is a concern, although placed...
I've not measured it but it looks like about 14 feet
It would live on a launching trolley in a boat pound. For short trips on sunny days I could make the solar panel canopy removable- leave it in the...
On a recent walk in a shoreside location that's something of a flotsam/ litter trap (and one of my go to spots for recovery of nice lengths of...
Hamble is on the South coast of England, outside Southampton. On the variable shaped foils- this is the benefit of (otherwise relatively...
I'm still doing the interceptors, Alan, and, confusingly they are going on the same boat. The ebike 'accommodation' in this prototype hull is all...
