That machine can do both MIG and TIG. Which one do you do? I am an inexperienced welder, and for me TIG is easier when working with aluminum....
In "forms an arc" I mean that there is an area where those cracks are, and the shape of the area is like an arc. Sorry if my English is not...
I recently saw a Fountaine Pajot Athena. It was in otherwise nice state, but in the bottom of the front side windows I found some delamination....
This is why I wanted to build a steel sailing cat, but all of you said it is a bad idea :)
I am referring to this video: [MEDIA] This couple bought a Beneteau which was beaten to death, and they try to revive it. The floor grid is in a...
Thank you, it helped me starting to think. There is a deck opening for small storage just a bit behind the front aka with screw top plastic cover,...
One of the hulls is leaking on my old Hobie 18F. I did not yet find the cause, but probably it will be a crack in the centerboard box (is it the...
Progress so far: I have asked a lot of designers for a quote. I have received some 8 answers. Most of them was "no", only one quote so far. A...
Given the freestanding mast, you might consider a soft wing sail. It is beautiful in a different way than the Ljungstöm, but you can have more...
I do not consider origami to be too limiting for hull shapes. Basically any developable design can be converted to origami sheet layout easily....
Another reason is easiness of the build and repair. I find cold molding complicated, and I am not sure about glueing black locust either.
Thank you for the answer. I am aware of the weight disadvantage, but speed is not in the first place for my choice of cat, and my impressions are...
My dream boat is an 50 feet steel origami cat with free standing masts on each hull wearing soft wing sails. Could you recommend someone who could...
What is your approach to size the aka to be structurally sound? I think that any plan should be backed by calculations or scantling rules. I guess...
I don't know more about tallships than what you pick up watching Onedin Family, but I thought normally they should not get very much water even in...
exactly I am thinking about a design where one hull would be within trailer limits, but two are above. So the hulls would be in disconneced...
Thank you for the aestethical evaluation :cool: and hint. I guess it is different from the dragon's W as the top of the tunnel is above waterline....
This is an attempt at designing a trailerable crusing cat with reasonable interior space. The main points of the idea: - one ama and aka is a...
If you can design a monohull within the Mini rules which does not right itself in a sea which have capsized it, then my hats off to you. Note the...
I think because it is too complicated a subject to meaningfully discuss it in a forum, and it depends on so many factors from the type of the race...
